Modern conveniences with a touch of class(said quality) older Camaro interiors were'nt much to write home about...have things like cup-holders be hide-aways that are easy to reach and usefull. I think at least one a/c convertor outlet would be nice in this new century of lap-tops for tuning etc...
layouts can give a sense of retro tho...

i think that digital dash idea is very sweet. my dad had something similar in his 95 Lincoln Continental. instead of being digital it was a regular analog style gauge but it was a hologram that was cast down from the over hang on the top of the cluster. it worked great in sunlight too.

id like to see a modern and very driver oriented dash, ala 93-98 supra, or 94-04 celicas. they just give the car a much more sportier feel....

i love the wrap around feeling, i have it in my 92 celica, and even tho the car is slow as a snail it still gives the sporty impression to the driver and passenger....

They should have the gauges like they did in the 3rd Gen Camaros. Not the ugly yellow gauges, but the ones where the speedo, tach, volts, gas, and coolant were all their own circular gauges and had seperate pieces of glass covering them. It was not like most cars where all the gauges were covered by one piece of glass.

I think some of you are not fully grasping Joelius' idea here. 
Imagine graphics on a computer monitor that depict a car's gauge cluster, not big, square, segmented, green numbers with a black background. 
BTW, I've been drawing pictures of this type of cluster since the mid '90s.

no contest...modern, and even better, it should be next-generation futuristic...
We they came out with a retro interior, that would give FoMoCo all the ammo to say that we're just copying their formula for the stang

I guess we found another hornets' nest to throw rocks at?
OK, I'm game....
I vote modern, but there's something about the twin pod design of the '69s that is very appealing, and the 2nd gen's.
My all time fav was the '93 -'96 dashes. Blister vents and all.
I think if exectued right, a digital dash could be a hit in the V6 and some V8 cars. Persoanlly I liked the '88-'93(?) Cutlass digital dash that mimicks dials. Above all else I would love to see electro-luminesence....with different color options (I'll take mine in VW blueish-purple with very red needles thank you).
