IMHO, it is definately a production sketch. It even has a handbrake, which the console obviously didnt have. my guess? this was what the interior's production design was likely going to be... before the concept was debuted.
I had been led to believe that the interior was going to see drastic changes and the above stated is the only reason i can think of for this picture (if it is a genuine GM drawing)

All the stuff like visibility, seating height isn't an interior failure...

I don't like it, but it's not exactly a deal-breaker type of thing for me either.
The thing I really hate is that integrated HVAC/audio business. That crap has to stop. Let me put in my own head unit!!! That abomination is going to make head unit upgrades either impossible, or incredibly clumsy.
That commodore interior is beautiful! Audi-esque but still sporty.

I like the 5th gen interior doesnt bother me. Id take modern as well but its fine to me as it is.

The think is...with a car selling as cheap as the Camaro's price point, you simply will not have the types of materials that you see in more expensive cars...so you basically have to over design to compensat for it...kinda like in the Mustang.
I am willing to be this was a drawing done to show how the concept's interior would translate to production. That does not mean that they will use that design though.
What I am most interested in is that Stereo..because there is no other vehicle I can see that working in (at this point).
