[Interior] Wish list for Camaro interior
#61
The Camaro isn't supposed to be that fancy! I don't understand asking for an overpriced factory stereo system, I'd rather upgrade that myself for cheaper with the brands and type of components that I chose. I also am not interested in a navigation/stereo/climate controls/whatever else they cram into one unit. It makes it tougher to upgrade and takes out several components when it eventually breaks. I'd want attention to be focused on making the interior pieces fit well and aestetically pleasing, comfortable seating similar to 4th gen firebird seats, and a very confortable, functional center console. All it needs is functioning heat, not 2-zone this and that. Power window motors that are up to the task are critical, this problem has gone on way too long.
Do you think that offering these extras will prevent them from focusing their attention on the rest of the interior like you mentioned? I don't think they are mutually exclusive.
By the way.... everyone who keeps going on about how dual zone climate control is a worthless/pointless option is obviously not married, or will not have the wife in the Camaro at the same time...

I'm starting to think they should do a Buick Grand National version of this car and make it a luxury sports car, since so many people are against optioning up the Camaro.
You have to understand that the people who are going to buy fully optioned Camaros will be like 35-45. Not the 25-35 group. At that age they will want creature comforts.

Locations for 2 sets of front speakers in the kick panels(mid range and tweeter), and location for one sub(10") and amp in the back that can easily be removed. I'll buy my own aftermarket speakers and head unit. If the speakers can't be put in the kick panels, then the doors is my 2nd choice.
Lightweight cloth seats, non powered
Power windows, power mirrors, remote keyless power locks
Lots of Gauges: 150 MPH analog but with a digital LED output also (for anything above 150), Tach, Oil Pressure, Collant temp, battery voltage, fuel level, transmission temp, fuel pressure. Also, would like the option to change guage colors with the press of a button and have the color red be one of the colors since red seems to be the easiest on the eyes at night.
Digital LED compass mounted overhead with outside air temperature displayed
Window and door lock switches located in the 4th gen locations, trunk release switch located in the 4th gen firebird location.
Center console with compartment. Glove box in dash.
All black interior, no dark gray crap.

Why couldn't they do all of what you want as well as offer the dual zone climate control - navi system - sound system - etc? Last I checked these were all options on the GM cars that offer them (except maybe the caddy) so no one would force yu to buy them anyway.

I'm mostly concerned with them driving up the costs of the vehicle. You bring up a good point of them being options, but wouldn't adding more options and variety to the build make the assembly costs go up for the model as a whole? I also honestly don't think most customers getting a Camaro would want all that stuff, but maybe I'm wrong. For comparison, what kind of option structure does the Mustang have?

On the contrary -- if Buick or Pontiac has a car that performs pretty much the same and has additional features I want, that's what I'll buy.

Ditto. I don't like switches by the shifter and/or drink holder. Spill your drink and all of a sudden you have to replace a bunch of switches I bet!

Didnt read them all but I would like to see the dash stay CLEAN not cluttered, and definetly no BLANK panels. These are good for a few, but what about the people who will never add anything to fill those panels, now they have a cheap "no options" looking dash! All i can think of is maybe keep the hump out of the passengers floor!

The mustang gt 500 has 10 speakers in it... a awsome dashlayout, ect.
For me, Performance first, Music second, comfort last. Yes. Last. Yes, I know what it is like to drive long distance on an un-comfortable seat.
I dont care if I have to crank the windows, I dont care if I have to spin a handel to start it, If it is fast, and the sterio is kicking, then its all good.

Music second? Who the hell actually listens to the stereo in their car here? I listen to the engine and the exhaust -- they're music to my ears. My Corolla is what deserves to have 10 speakers in it, that way I could distract myself from the way the engine groans and the exhaust sputters.
And since when did the Mustang have an awesome dash layout? It has a hard plastic layout that reminds me of the Need For Speed games at arcades.
I want an amazing interior that is leather wrapped and soft. And not only that, I want the damn car's interior to have the styling of a Chevy on the inside. Ford and Dodge both have some of the worst interior styling in the entire automotive business! Look at the current Ford Explorer if you don't understand why I say that!
