Am I upset that more pictures leaked?
Yes.
Am I smoking -- or having a heart attack -- or having a stroke?
No.
Interestingly -- (and predictably....) a few more people are warming to the interior - and this is with horrible shots.
This will be a driver's car. It HAS to be. It's a CAMARO!
(do you think John Heinricy and a few others would allow a Camaro to be engineered and designed when it didn't deserve this hallowed nameplate?)
I truly believe -- when the final product hits the streets -- that most -- if not all -- of you will like what has been done.
(and you haven't seen the coolest stuff yet!)

I think Scott really might have been the head seen in those pictures w/ the camera phone!!!

He's probably thrown up his hands at this point..... what can he do? It's like lecturing a class full of monkeys. They may listen for a few seconds, but as they get more and more rowdy you keep yelling louder and louder. Eventually you just throw up your hands and walk out the room as the monkeys are having a ball.

Im still not too warmed up to the dash design . I can see where GOOD material usage will go a long way to making it attractive . For instince , the shape of the dash ....theres alot of gradual curves around the center stak . The dash pad better have a nice matte finish to pull that off , any bit of shinyness will ruin it .
LOVE the door panels , I like the integreted key fob and even with back lighting I still hate the video game controller Hvac buttons ....that looks really bad .
Please dont put a torque gauge in there , that is beyond cheezy .
Still very optimistic to see the end result I guess Im gonna have to trust ya Scott

Agreed.
I was hopeful that I might like it more when lit under it's own power. These new pics have given me just that opportunity and unfortunately I'm more upset and disappointed than before. I've never encountered a car where I've loved the exterior so much and hated the interior even more.
I think we need our own subforum now...

Put the trunk release in the glove compartment, like a lot of cars already do. And cars like the GTO already have a valet key for the glove compartment. Problem is, the key fob still has a release button. Here's the idea. Put a simple switch to sense when the glove compartment is locked, and lock out the trunk release too, even from the fob. Bingo.
There's still the drawback of the hidden pull for the GTO trunk, but most valet's wouldn't be that familiar with the car. And even that could be locked out by the interlock mechanism in a well designed system.

Ahhh the feeling of Faith well kept. Eat crow and like it naysayers!!
In all seriousness, this interior is awesome. I love the center stack and the main gauges. Is it just me or is there another currently blacked out display screen above the main DIC? It seems to me that there is certainly more room for other gadgets in that space. Give me more buttons to push! I Love it!

I couldn't agree more with this:

Anyone else notice that the battery will not be located under the hood, but most likely in the trunk?
I have also noticed that GM has snapped out of the side-mount battiers and moving back to top post terminals?
Anyway, that intake track looks a little restrictive.
