Its a dealbreaker for me. :/
Will almost certainly go for a pre-owned vette instead of a SS.

And the numbers on the gauges we've seen in the prototypes aren't the final design.

I will buy one either way and I know these photos aren't of the final version. I will be shocked if the production speedo only has 0 - 20 - 40 - 60 - 80 - 100 - 120 - 140 - 160 like those photos. My dad's 64 pickup has more numbers on the speedo than that. But who knows? Like I said the Jetta only has 3 ticks between each 10mph. So for example you get the #50, tic for 52.5, 55, 57.5 and #60. And all the intermediate tics are the same length! That is verifiable crap that DID make it to production.

This was a series of remarks Scott made on another forum a while back about the Diciples meeting last May:

We can only hope they have something in mind more of the quality of the new Buicks, CTS and Malibu or I will be very dissapointed. I would not spend 35k to 40 k for a SS and have an interior that just does not cut it. Hopefully we will see something within the mext 30 to 60 days that makes us all feel better about the interior.

Seeing the new interior pics, I see GM decided to keep the weird (ugly) 60's speedo font style (tall thin numbers whose angle follows the circumference of the guages) and the centerstack design that looks like its trying to mimic 60s radio controls. I am sorely disappointed.

I may be beating a dead horse, and I reserve the right to change my opinion when I see it in person, but I hate this interior design.

I am personally glad that GM took some design risks in order to give us something unique and different, as opposed to something inoffensive and bland (Challenger). The downside is that some are definately going to hate it.

Yup. Same bad design as the first set of pre-pro pictures that everybody said "but it's not final" about. OK, so they put some neato trim covers on it, whoopty doo. The complaints were never with the fit and finish, the complaints were about the whole design.

It still has the bumper car steering wheel, with GIGANTIC fat spokes. And then there's the awkward combinations of shapes and no continuity between round or square vents, dash lines, the radio/hvac, etc. Speaking of which, who came up with resurrecting the sega genesis controllers for HVAC idea? And ridiculously unreadable guage font / increment ticks. Console guages are still stupid, and no obvious spot for a NAV means automatically limiting the market for cross over import sports coupe shoppers who care a lot about such toys.

And the best part of all, from what jasonD implied in the big thread, there isn't even going to be a HUD. So much for "but you can just display the oil pressure on the windshield so the console guages are just for fun" argument.

Maybe it will all come together when you get in it.

You are reading WAY too much into that one statement by him. You'll see what I mean, when the time comes

The ambient lighting curving around the interior is a nice touch, as is the matching red accents. Of course both would have been nicer on a better interior.

HUD and what looks a sizeable radio display, I'll probably live with it.

The interior ROCKS!!!!!!!!

The retro gauges aren't surprising. It's what ford did with the mustang so everyone will follow suit.
It's got a new factor for a bit, but it wear's off.
Ask yourself when we swap dashes and gauges in our 3rdgens, do we go for the retro 60's dash or the modern 4thgen dash swap?

"MANY of us (read MOST) are estatic that the next Camaro will pay tribute to the heritage of the first gens, mostly the 1969 which in MY opinion is one of the most beautiful cars ever created.
I love the looks, and direction of the new Camaro. and I also love the looks and direction that the interior is going. Other than the Gauge pods and the flatness of the dash what about it screams retro? We can't all be pleased. I'm just glad I'm in the group that is."

I second that motion.
