New Interior/Exterior Spyshots!!!!!

They say "Production Interior"....... I say :bs:.......nice pics though :D

BTW: Whats up with that display on the passengers side????

It is definitely getting closer to production, that is for sure.

BTW: Whats up with that display on the passengers side????

I think it is a piece of green paper taped to the dash.

I hope no one forgets about Shunt!

Yeah, it's just a green piece of paper taped to the dash.

What's funnier is the last pic (the front end shot). If you look closely at the air induction slot, you'll see a red light in there.
I was like, "is there a red light in there?" It looks as if they turned the car into a KITT.

But it turns out that it's just a reflection of the brake lights from the car in front of the Camaro.
It's like they planned it. Kinda funny.

I don't like the headlights.







:D

Okay, let's try to figure out where this car is. :)

In the above picture, I see a McDonalds, a sign for something along the lines of a KFC, and a larger building (possibly a strip mall type thing) with a sign that looks like it says "Meadow Valley State ____".

Anybody recognize the location?

:D

I too thought that the red light might be a dig at KITT at first, but on closer inspection you're right - looks to be just a reflection.

I'm assuming that the SHUNT is an electrical shunt. They're probably still testing some wiring systems and have the shunt onboard to bypass those systems if anything goes wrong.

Definitely looks much closer to production. I'd say the gauge faces are the real deal 100% the way they're illuminated and everything.

Those who hate the interior design will still hate this, but it certainly looks more finished.

hopefully people will stfu about the interior now

i don't see anything different from the other spy shots...i'm ready to see the real headlights with all the emblems and rear concept wing on it....

note the plate on the truck behind it, wheres that from?

It certainly looks more finished. I'm happy with the interior design. Initially, I wasn't thrilled with the tach and speedo on the concept, but it looks like GM has cleaned them up in the production version. I'm really glad that the auxilliary gauges are in the same position as the concept's. It's a really cool feature. The digital display in the dash is nice too.

And most importantly....check out the cupholders! They appear to have a better position that the 4th gen's. This will be great for when you get the XXL drink at Taco Bell.

The wheels appear to be for the V6. It's nice that the V6 will get a 20" wheel option.

note the plate on the truck behind it, wheres that from?

It is a Michigan plate, but here's the thing...Michigan doesn't require front plates. However, due to the Woodward Cruise, people can buy "fake" plates that say CRUISIN to put on the front. I think that is what that plate is.

Regardless, I will bet that it is downtown Milford.

I take it you've never owned a car with the gages in this location?
With your hands in the proper position on the steering wheel, your arm blocks the gages. If you buy a stick then your hand blocks the gages when your shifting. In any case it's very difficult to do a good scan while driving with the gages buried under the radio.
I don't see a cup holder? I see a cup, but it doesn't appear to be in a holder. In any case if you shift for yourself you can't have a cup behind the stick, of any size. On my 97 I have to use the Passengers cup holder.

They say "Production Interior"....... I say :bs:.......nice pics though :D

I would say production shaped , I still dont see any final textures yet on much of anything , so its still pretty rough at best . Im glad to see the car still looks good with normal size wheels , if the SS ( base v8 whatever it is called ) has 20's they will be the first thing to go bye bye .

Looks similar to the prototype looks pretty good; however the radio looks too futuristic, the big buttons look like a video game controller. I also read that the first Camaros rolling off the assembly line at the end of 08 will be only for GM execs and engineers for last minute tweaks before it officially start producing of the assembly line for the public in February. I glad someone finally cleared that up.

On my 97 I have to use the Passengers cup holder.i think that is the cup holder but you are correct that it is a bad place to put it. the mustang has it there and it was awful. i'd perfer them either beside the shifter (like a vette) or in front (like a cobalt).

Those who hate the interior design will still hate this, but it certainly looks more finished.

Yeah... still looking wierd, but we'll know when we can get in it.

is there a button on the right hand side of the speedo and tach cluster?
oops.. just looked and saw it was the adjustment for the vent

That picture looks like downtown Milford, near the railroad tracks just across from the Red Dog bar. I could be wrong, but it does look a bit familiar....

Wow, we're getting so CSI crazy on locating where thigns are and every details I am suprised someone hasn't tried to figure out whether that's a Grande or a Tall in the cupholder.:D

not sure if it has been mentioned/asked(probably has though) whats that small setup just below the console gauges and above the shifter? looks like it some sort of button and a knob/switch.

That picture was taken on General Motors Rd in Milford MI. That is a CVS right next next to the McDonald's.

The back is really odd looking, too narrow, too tall, the tires also look very narrow, reminds me of a 4x4 truck lifted truck with skinny tires,

pat

As far as I can tell the black camaro at the top is an automatic v6.

and i'm still wondering why they have a hitch.

one of the controls on the center reminds me of the d-pad on an xbox 360 cntroller.

Man...i won't be comfortable until those ugly headlights go away. BRING BACK THE CONCEPT HEADLIGHTS, GM!!!! If there's any one thing that would keep me from buying one, it would be those god awful multi headlights.

Someone.....please......

it looks like its gonna be next to impossible to put in an aftermarket head unit... but o well. also... no steering wheel audio controls, hopefully theyll be an option. i love them in my brothers ss

just noticed this on the shifter: its p r n d and m, then theres 2 more notches beyond m, as well as plenty of extra space. i dont know what all that space is for

Can't tell much about what seems to be a large open area on top of the radio. Maybe for storage, but seems a strange place to put it. Then again I may be seeing things. I'm a little curious as to what the switches are just under the console gauges, just to the left of the 12V receptacle. Maybe power mirror controls or something.

It may be close to production, but the interior in the black car is just thrown together. Note the tape holding the steering wheel and tach/speedo trim on. It also looks like the center console isn't down completedly. It just makes me wonder exactly how close that particular interior will be to the end product.

In any case...good start.:D

:notheadlights:

:)

Thank you....

It's the same as the other spy shots. It's just more "finished." Definitely not close to what Ed seemed to be saying about how different the production interior would be.

I didn't have a problem with it to begin with, which means I'm happy, but those who had a problem before should still have one (or maybe more of one) now. IMO.

IROC-Z rims are making a comeback! :cool: Other than that they need a cooler shifter interiorwise.

Could the M be for "Manual" and the space for up/down manumatic shifting?

The hitch is on ALL test cars because they use towable dynos/diags.

The steering wheel has audio/bluetooth controls on it, It is just hard to see in this picture.

The area in the middle and on top of the dash is a speaker, unknown if its strictly for onstar or if its audio as well.

Yes, Yes...I know, but I won't be comfortable until I see a production car with the concept headlights...LOL

I take it you've never owned a car with the gages in this location?
With your hands in the proper position on the steering wheel, your arm blocks the gages. If you buy a stick then your hand blocks the gages when your shifting. In any case it's very difficult to do a good scan while driving with the gages buried under the radio.

No, I have never owned a car with gauges like that. The only cars I've ever seen with gauges in that position are the first-gen Camaros, and they are ludcicrously far outside of my price range.

I'm not bothered by having the gauges there. I don't scan the auxilliary gauges very often, other than the fuel gauge.

On a second look, I noticed the cup doesn't appear to be in a holder. It's possible the cup holders are in that position, but it looks like there's a lot of crap stuffed into that bin, so the cup may not sit in the holder all the way. If the cupholders are in that position, they appear to be far enough from the shifter that having a cup there won't interfere with shifting.

The automatics have the buttons for the shifting on the back of the steering wheel.

What are the two notches below M for? There are cars that have both floor and paddle shift manumatic options...

thats what im trying to figure out. the thing is that seems like a somewhat cumbersome way of doing it considering its a straight throw and not bent or doesnt level out so its right/left shifting.
also why is there so much space after the 2 notches

doesnt look bad. I still dont like the e brake being on the right hand side but Im one person I guess.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....NO SIR..........I Don't like it

In any case...good start.:D
If you're talking about the space right above the radio, that should be the space for the radio/hvac control display.

Ahh...most probably.

On my 97 I have to use the Passengers cup holder.I had a '68 Camaro with the gauges there... In my '02 thats where my XM radio was. Neither were a big deal to glance over and check. By some of the comments (not yours, your were a decent argument) you would think they were putting the gauges in the trunk.

The interior is going to look dated very quickly.

not sure if it has been mentioned/asked(probably has though) whats that small setup just below the console gauges and above the shifter? looks like it some sort of button and a knob/switch.

It almost looks like a classic ciggy lighter on the left ... but that doesn't makes sense with the outlet on the right side. Power door locks? Maybe some kind of ipod control?

Did anyone else notice the notches in the grill on the last picture? I can't tell what will fit, but it's there.

The bowtie?

The bowtie?

I was thinking more of the Camaro emblem, but the bowtie will do.

I hope its's not gonna be a bowtie on every model. That's for sure.

What is the thingamajig above the key cylinder(tumbler) on the column?

Windshield wiper/washer stalk? Not sure about the up and down button though.

Almost all GM cars have them now.:shrug:

I dont think the gauges will be that big of a deal. The two most important day to day aux gauges, temp and gas, are right up with the speedo and tach. I see them as something different to give Camaro and plus throw a nod towards the 1st gens.

are theses those V8/Auto trannys Jason and Chris got to drive at the focus group they just attended?

I'm going to guess no. This interiro looks a little rougher to me. One question we didnt ask were how many IVER cars are around. We saw a total of three at Milford. One was parked by another buiding.

hopefully people will stfu about the interior now

Why? It looks like the same design we complained about in all the other sets of pictures.

I like the new interpretation of the IROC wheels, as '85-'88...more angular like the New Camaro but recognizable, and to me, more interesting than the flat bars.
I also liked the Ralley's on the Vert.

Interior still looks same, with the 2-knob radio (/sega)"look", and '69 console gages, and '69 IP with center section compressed.
It kinda does "feel" older than it is...:shrug:
I guess I'll have to see it in person to fully appreciate it.

sit in the car first. if you dont like it then, at least you've made an informed decision.

:eek:

I haven't been up to speed on Camaro news for the last 2 weeks or so. I have to say -- it's unbelievable how the car is an echo of threads past about features, shapes, etc that we were looking for.

In multiple threads I remember reading (before pre-prod photos surfaced) that we wanted an Iroc-ish wheel. We got it. We wanted a robust shifter--much like the heavy round ball in the manual cars. And the production auto shifter appears to be a big heavy round ball. We wanted a integrated keyfob and remote start. Voila. Gages on the console -- yup, they're there! There's even a multi-function display between the speedo and tach.

Oh, and BTW, Jason E is going to give birth to a brick when he sees that there's buttons on the end of the wiper stalk :p Is he even on this board anymore?

Finally!! The answer I've been seeking for so long has been answered. So manumatic is a car that is an automatic but has a drive/gear on the shifter labeled M so the car can essentially become a manual? Do I have that right?

But on getting on topic with the interior. At first I was wondering what was the fuss everyone was making and I was wondering where all the debate was coming from. But after taking a good hard look at these pics and looking at the others posted here are my thoughts on a few things.

1. Where the cup is sitting, if you ask me it doesn't appear to be a cup holder. It looks like a storage space for spare change and what not. Although a thought just occurred to me. So maybe I'm wrong.
2. The two big D-pads on the dash(if we want to call them that) may actually be the ac controls for the driver and passenger sides instead of controls for the actual radio. Ya know what I'm saying?
3. Someone earlier mentioned how the red light may have been a KITT reference or a reflection. My opinion/thought. What if that is actually something under the hood that we can see through the vent on the hood. Meaning that the vent is actually going to functional a la ram air. Am I right on that point? Or am I wrong or just down right crazy?

In any case I like what I'm seeing. It's been amazing to see the evolution of the Camaro from concept to a production model. Everytime I see it I can't help but smile and think of what the day will be like when these bad boys take the dealer show rooms and the streets by storm. I'm totally excited and on cloud 9 when it comes to this car. It has been a long wait, still some more waiting ahead. But with all the press and pics we've been seeing on this board I think the wait is going to be well worth it. So that's my two cents. Now I'm returning to my rock I crawled from under. Cyaz

Is there any word of a heads up display like in the corvette?
