NEWS: Spy Shots: 2009 Chevy Camaro caught - interior too!
Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Chevrolet
click above for 14 high-res spy shots of the 2009 Chevy Camaro
 KGP Photographers in Europe caught a caravan of Holden test cars heading up to the Arctic Circle for testing, and lo and behold a pair of Chevy Camaros were along for the ride, as well. The truck was apparently unattended, as the photographers crawled all over it to get close up pics of the Camaro, including the very first shots of what should be the production interior. But let's start with the exterior, where we see the familiar shape of the concept that's been toned down a smidge for mass production. We're particularly interested in the C-pillar that appears to be the most significantly changed part of the car's exterior. The rear fenders look to carry on straight back as the greenhouse turns in towards the center of the car after the B-pillar. The effect is a pair of pronounced rear haunches that sits high atop the 20-inch wheels shod with 245/45 ZR20 Pirello P Zero tires.
Glance inside and you'll see a production interior that's remarkably close to the highly stylized retro interior of the concept. The two big analog gauges remain front and center behind the retro-looking wheel, for instance. The center stack, however, has been modified to accept a modern stereo and some useable HVAC controls, though it sits atop a cluster of four gauges giving the car's vitals. All in all, it appears that the production Camaro will retain more of the concept's flair than we thought, so kudos to GM for seeing it through.

I like it better than the concept, but it is still an unfinished product - speed and rpm bezels are held on by tape, missing parts in steering wheel, exposed screws on passenger side of dash etc.
Not great yet, but also not finished.

The steering wheel looks more fisher price than the typical GM steering wheel. The speedo and tach tunnels are too narrow and don't flow with the lines of the dash at all and they appear to retain a hard to read ugly font. The HVAC vents front and center of the dash are gigantic and way too prominent. And last but not least, the worst feature of all, the ridiculous / useless placement of the console guages.
I didn't think it was possible for the real car to have a worse interior than the concept. Boy was i wrong.

It's a mule. So dont really expect the interior to be fit and finished. But that shifter needs to go. The Key is way to big. And the seats look barrowed for the cobalt. What does the sticker across the dash board say? I can only read the last word as "Fuel"

Looks like the pushbutton start is gone(?). The center stack doesn't look quite so clean as the concept - with needing an actual, real world display that is and the gauges are different too, in a more subtle way though.
All in all though, it's great to see it come together and remaining as true to the concept as it appears to be - although it has obviously changed somewhat at the same time.
As production looms closer I can't wait to see even more revealing shots of the actual production car.
