[Interior] NEWS: Spy Shots: 2009 Chevy Camaro caught - interior too!
Kinda look like Cobalt seats.
But I love the pics so far. I was NOT dissapointed by the camera phone pic, cuz i knew the angles and lighting were all wrong. We weren't getting the full exposure. Like Jason D. said, when he took a pic of his TBSS to send to his mom, it didn't look as good as in the brochure. Pics loose something in the translation. I don't think this car will dissapoint when it is released.
Although, I am happy Lutz released that pic, you woulda thought they'd take a pic that was more than 250pixels. I mean seriously, you make a big announcement like that, and release a tiny pic? wtf.

I love the G8's interior... but it absolutely, does not belong in a car like the Camaro. Aside from the cost/price/value considerations... it would not fit the design theme of the 2010 Camaro. Having a mainstream, non-unique interior in a car as historic and legendary as the Camaro would literally make it seem like only 'half a car'.
As far as my design prefences go , I gotta side with Bob here . A non-gimmicky , modern day interior along the lines of the G8 would make me more than content .
Personally, I'm sick and tired of "generic" interiors no matter the quality level.
I went to the auto show last week and seriously noticed the similarity between the new Malibu and new CTS dashes....not that they were bad, just the opposite, but very similar.
While I'll wait for the final dash design here, I'm encouraged by the attempt at a fresh design.
That being said I strongly favor FUNCTION over flashy designs....a combo would be ideal however!

What i don't get is, WHY go with a retro interior that is so polarizing in a car that HAS to be a homerun? If it had a modern stylish interior like the G8, there would be at least as many people who loved it as love the retro design (there might be some different people, but numbers wise, they'd still be up there), but on the flip side, i don't think you'd find anyone who said they hated it. One thing i'm pretty sure of, no one is going to buy a new 5th gen strictly based on the retro interior. It might just turn off people who don't like gimmicks and lack of functionality though.
Also, this is not unique, the mustang has a retro interior too, though at least it doesn't have guages on the floor hidden behind the shifter. But the mustang did not just go through its most pathetic sales and image period in its history and has a bit more name cache than camaro as well so it could afford to take that chance. Not to mention, this camaro is coming out 5 years after that retro themed camaro interior. Not only is it not unique, it's late to the party.
