I love the Retro seat belt.

There is a better pic over at http://www.chevrolet.com/performance/ under Camaro Gallery. I think they look cool and remind me of the ones my parents had in there 80's GM vehicles. This is one retro feature that I wouldn't mind having. Even if it was a $40 dealer installed option I'd get it.

Personally I didnt like 3rd gen seat belts when they were new. I always thought they were generic looking. Solid metal heavy too. I wacked myself in the head in one of my fathers cars GM SUVs when I was younger. I got a knot from that thing head swelled up for days. Yeah it takes me back.

I love those door lines though, side mirrors, and seat belt integrated into the front seats. Where can you get back seat pics?

The way the Dash looks now to me is 69 Camaro meets 57 chevy with 4th gen low dash bulge kinda an old Lumina effect.

I would like a 69 Dash meets C6 of sorts. I wish I had photo shop and was good at it. Id give it a try. BTW Im torn on the console gauges. I love them there but I see what people are saying about having to look down low. Maybe less important gauges?

I'm scared GM might stick the gauges down there using HUD as an excuse....

I think that would be a horrible idea.....

Dealer option would be cool, but it wouldn't happen due to FMVSS validation. They don't play with seatbelts. Nonetheless, I think they look cool too.

Me too. If they do that, they might as well just have four "gauge decals" down there for all the good they would do.

And for anyone that wants them....fine. Just don't you dare ever laugh at a fartcan or Japanese character decals on a Civic again. Why? Wanting unuseable gauges simply for their look, is the epitome of 'rice'.

Think about it.

That Dash doesn't have room for NAV either. Once it becomes a $1000 option, Nav will be a must for me.

OnStar's likely to be standard, not optional. Besides, it's just a couple of buttons. And they're usually on the rearview mirror nowadays anyhow.

Unusable gauges? I thought the gauges worked. It 'would' be pretty stupid to put gauges in a car that don't work. If they do however, I don't consider that the equivelant of Japanese character decals on a car, because they don't do anything, but like you said, for looks. JMHO, though. :)

Huh? Charlie us old farts have been placing gauges down low near the console for years and been using them without any issues...

Totally usuable, or would you consider these "decals"?

I like the interior quite a bit too, but I am not so sure about the gauge cluster and the gauges on the console. My favorite part of interiors is the seat though, those things are cool.

I noticed the seat buckle on the concept is on the seat itself. Pretty cool. By that I mean the part the buckle clips into. on third and fourth gens the damn thing rubs against the center console, scrapping the **** out of it. :mad:
