Interior Poll

Let GM know what you think!

Personally I hope they totally redesign the interior.

I would like to see a GTO like interior with HUD and XM. I like the console guages, but make them oil pressure, fuel pressure and ancillary stuff like that.

Agree. I loved the interior in my GTO, sharp looking and very driver friendly.

I wouldnt mind SOME aspects of the interior, such as the seats and the seatbelt design and location. However, a redesign is necessary I believe. I dont mind the console gauges, but like was said before, make them the unnecessary gauges.

Are you suggesting the interior looks like a 1969 interior? If so, I just don't see it.
Inspired? Yes.
Retro? Kind of.
Outdated 1969? No way.

I think most of the interior is fine for me except the speedometer and tach. I dont think ill become fond of reading upside down numbers. I think the console gauges are a great touch, too. I say keep them. All that would go in theyre place would be a little cubby just big enough to fit a cell phone and a paper clip.

I prefer a more modern layout, but it seems from reading some of the interviews they are pretty much going off of the concept interior with all of the fancy billet replaced by plastic(as Lutz stated). I don't even care if it is replaced by plastic as long as there is some contrasting color and it doesn't look cheap and stark in there. I think the gauges are kind of neat where they are, but it lessens room for cubby holes or cup holders. I don't think I will have any problems reading from it(not 80yrs old yet), so I don't care for an HUD, I rather have a navigation system as optional equipment.

I voted for AS IS with HUD. None of the selections in this poll fit me though. I want it reworked to look like a 69. The numbers werent upsidedown in 69. There was no 4th gen/belair bulge in the dash. I want the white gauges in the console. I want a c6 vette angled glovebox to give it a retro look the way it was supposed to be. to give it the right angle. Theres no reason the gauges should look like wall clocks with alot of chrome and orange around it, as my 69 doesnt. Infact its all blacked out and backlit at night. This has the retro feel of a bigger 57 Belair. Not my beloved 69.

I definately prefer a modern interior. Nice LED gauges, sloped center console, lines that flow into eachother... something like this...

JB'z 94 · 01-24-2006, 03:54 AM

they need something simple, but over the top... elegant and smooth, but in your face and rigid... shiny, but dull....

seriously, the interiors they have been crankin' out in their newest cars (solstice/sky enclave and others) are damn nice, and if they could do a modern version in this camaro I think with the direction they have gone it would be a knockout.

Jason E · 01-24-2006, 11:46 AM

The car needs a modern dashboard to go with the perfect exterior...end of story.

jrp4uc · 01-24-2006, 11:54 AM

I like the interior as is, but I wouldn't describe it as complete retro. Just as with the rest of the car, it has a very heritage feel about it, but with a modern edge. The interior is a perfect fit for the exterior of the car.

I love the thick 3-spoke wheel and continuation of the orange portion of the dash (also containing the radio/hvac display) into the door panels.

This interior is no-nonsense and driver-oriented, just as it should be. Expecting BMW layout and frills is missing the mark.

TA76 · 01-24-2006, 11:54 AM

Absolutely needs the interior reworked on a production car. That was the only part I didn't like, it just looked odd to me. GM/Scott, if you guys read this please consider a redesign on the interior. I LOVED the exterior! Like was mentioned above, you only need to look at the GTO for inspiration.

I agree. Toning down the colors, making the gauges more readable and adding HUD would make the interior liveable IMO.

Keep in mind though, my plans for my future 5th gen are a little different than most. They're more once a week, weekend play/track car than daily driver.

I vote updated.

I don't mind the lines or shapes of the retro interior, but some nice modern gauges with HUD etc would be much better.
