Stars, it's "accept", not "except".
My vote goes for modern with a little of retro if they have to. I like the cockpit idea of the LT1 Zs myself.

Whatever it is like hopefully it will be good enough not to be torn apart by the mags (although they should consider putting a T or H on the front, because that might help a bit).

Re: New Camaro Interior: Retro or Modern?

I would like it to be modern. Maybe some chrome rings around the gauges.

Re: New Camaro Interior: Retro or Modern?

I don't think the interior pics were so bad, and I'm sure the production model won't be exactly like that! The guages remind me of 68 Chevelle headlight bezels. I did prefer the round guage pods of 67-68, over the squared off ones in 69 though. Overall I liked what I saw quite a bit, and am very anxious to see the actual concept pics.

Re: New Camaro Interior: Retro or Modern?

My 2 cents..
I don't want something so modern it looks like it belongs on "X-Files", just all modern conveniences with classic styling....NOT RETRO...
All round, efficient, analog-full-gage instrumentation...no freaky square bezels.
I could live with the "Race" style seats, but most probably wouldn't. I'd like the seats "as seen" in Jegs for like, $200, a nice street/race blend, color coded thread/panel-patches etc..would be fine.
Classic touches with a fresh all modern look please!...

Re: New Camaro Interior: Retro or Modern?

One thing I would definetly like to still see on the 5th gen is the continuation of the same 6 guage setup we are familiar with on F-Bodies. I don't like how the GTO has no oil pressure and voltmeter guages. And make sure these guages have numbers on them signifying what you are actually looking at.

Amen to that! Please, GM, please keep the 6-gauge setup! And, please preserve the way that the tach and speedo flow into each other, like so many other GM models. Why? Look at the Mustang's (and almost every other recent Ford product's) use of separate, full (and too-small) circles for the tach and speedo.

That is a terrible waste of space in the instrument cluster, and that's why Ford had to use such a ridiculously HUGE steering wheel --so you could see the gauges through the top half of the wheel. There are many other ways that the new Mustang's interior sucks compared to my '98 Z28, but this is the most important.

Oh...one more thing. If you want to put a little flat spot on the bottom of the steering wheel like the Lambo Gallardo (and a few new VW's), that would be cool too. Actually, that'd be bitchin'.

Thanks, GM, for getting the exterior right. Now make us proud of the interior too! And I will buy one, Scout's honor.

Yeah, I already addressed that in post #17 in this thread, but I feel it is definetly worth having it said again. I really hate my water temp gauge works in the car. Something tells me that when I am doing 70mph down an open road an it is 15 degrees out that the engine is probably not at 210 degrees.
