Ugh....This could be a deal breaker for me, I've never been a fan of the Concepts interior, especially the retro dash. Looks like they just hashed out a spot for a modern radio. I am still reserving final judgement for the final product.
**The black Ute on the car hauler looks really cool.

Looks very good to me... I like the ergonomic steering wheel and the little gauges down on the console, very unique and a good cue to the first-gens. I'm very much liking the wheels (the ones which resemble the concept)... nicely sharp and angular. IF those are production wheels, it will be a relief since I was worried they would get watered down or eliminated in transition to production. Looking good so far! 
That is platform sharing done right.

2009-chevrolet-camaro-first-production-interior-shots
http://jalopnik.com/339979/2009-chev...interior-shots
The spy shooters of KGP have snagged us one heckuva get -- these are the best shots to date of the 2009 Chevy Camaro caught on a car trailer -- including the very first interior shots we've yet seen. We'll have all the shots up in a moment, but we've got the full spy report below the jump. UPDATE: All the photos added below. Looks like the interior's remaining true to the concept interior and one thing's for sure about the exterior -- it's certainly got big tires and as we saw earlier -- a B-pillar. And these pictures show us a much more clear look at the deisgn integration than the first Camaro spy photos we shared with you last month -- or better than the sneaky Camaro camera-phone shot.
One of our European operatives caught this full stable of high- performance Holden test cars--including the new Camaro--between Denmark and Sweden, en route to the frigid arctic circle testing grounds. The encounter provided the best, most detailed look at the Camaro, including the first shots of the car's interior.
As with the exterior, the production Camaro's interior will remain
true to the concept in its overall look and feel. The largest change
between the concept and production versions is found on this
prototype's center stack, which has an attractive stereo interface
that was missing on the show car. The four small analog gages still
reside in front of the gear shift lever, and the old-school
instrumentation pods have survived the productionizing process largely
unscathed. A band of color-keyed trim runs along the dash face, and
flares out into the door panels, providing some welcome character and
further linking the production Camaro with the concept that has been
only teasing us for far too long now.
Our close-up look reveals that these Camaro prototypes were outfitted
with 20-inch wheels, and were shod with 245/45 ZR20 Pirello P Zero
tires.
