I don't know if I'd say "Cheap" as mentioned earlier but a little cheezy came to mind. For me, being a 41 year old, it has the look of something younger kids would do to a cheaper sports car - rather than being a sophistocated interior. I don't like the shiny orange plastic. But to each his own I guess. I love the car overall but the interior doesn't endear me to it. The Corvette has a much more professional looking interior - maybe not as "fun" - but I'm not sure that a car that's supposed to appeal to a mass market should be quite that "fun". |

they are trying to target a younger audience with this car though.. hence advertising in transformers onee and two. as well as this orange interior. and the ipod hook up. they are all directed in attracting younger kids to buy this car so that they will have future camaro enthusiasts when they all get older. if they get the kids on that "bandwagon" now, and sweat all the details, they are sure to have many return buyers for the 6th gen. if that happens.

What's with the font on the gauges?? They look like crap,they look different from what we've already seen. Is this what the production gauges will look like,because it looks like the numbers were handwritten in! Such a nice interior to be let down by this,seriously,these numbers would be hard to look at every day. Other than that,no complaints,this interior looks great.
It reminds me when the '93 Camaro gauges were piss yellow and they changed it to white in '95(?)......i'm sorry,i can't get over how bad those numbers look. |

I'm glad someone else said something. It's not really too nitpicky,i mean,that's what you look at everyday,i'm sure you could get used to it,but i just really hope that's some kind of preproduction mockup thing,because it really looks bad. It would have to be,from pictures it looks like GM has really delivered a top notch interior,why would they half-ass the gauges? The numbers from the Corvette would be perfect,or the numbers from the official pics.....anything but these.

I think the orange interior does look a little too flashy and unsophisticated, but as others have mentioned that seems to be an appeal to the younger demographic. I'm young, but it just isn't my style. I'm sure a lot of other people my age would like it though. That said, we've seen the solid color interior and I don't think it looks cheap or cheesy. That's just my opinion though.

Im thinking that the plastic part is going to end up exactly like the GTO really. A nice high quality material that wont look cheezy in the car.

It will also be interesting to see how well it is received by women. If you look at the sales numbers for the Mustang, it's success is due in great part because it has appealed to women. |

I don't think I've ever seen the Camaro appeal to women all THAT much anyway. Sure, I see chicks driving them around here, but I see them driving Mustangs and hell, 4th and 3rd gen Firebirds more than Camaros.
I am attracted substantially to the interior. I am NOT attracted to the color of the car they put it in. A black interior with orange contrasting in a silver car? It doesn't even make sense. If that car was orange or black, I bet you guys might like it. As for the demographic - I'm 21, the left side of the spectrum for the target demographic this car is catered to. Casull is right that most real young people like myself can't afford it, but a select few, even those without rich parents have the unwavering fortitude and direct, unparalleled enthusiasm for the car which would nab it for them in the end. If you want something enough, it's never out of reach - it's just how reckless and stubborn you are about getting it. But in the end, you're still right... those select few are an even smaller demographic. Maybe I am attracted to the interior because I fall into that age group. Or it's because I'm artsy and I appreciate the contrast. I STILL just think it's such a turnoff because it's in a car with such an uncomplimentary color. |

I'm very impressed with the grey interior. The orange is great, but I really want green, so a custom job may be in the works. I like flashy. That's part of the appeal of this car.

yea i am in the 16 year old group and im willing to guess that a lot of kids my age would like it a lot. Mainly because they would probably make them feel like a Racer with the bucket seats and the colors. I like the color but i'm totally with you on that whole toning it down a little. I think it would have looked better if they somehow had a part of the middle of the seat black or something. i think about one third(1/3) less orange would be perfect IMO.
