the camaro isnt a luxury car IMO,
i think more of the money you pay for it goes to performance than it does the interior build materials. however you do get a great DIC and bluetooth. however, i LOVE the interior.

The seats are great, and the guage lay out is good, but not perfect. Pretty roomy, and again comfortable. I agree with you about the Challenger interior. It's not overwhelming, but it is very comfortable and well laid out. My only problem is the steering wheel. If they had designed a wheel specifically for the Challenger, more of a deep dish wheel, preferrible 3 stoke, then it would be near perfect. The pistol grip shifter is also a little bit too far forward, and at an odd angle, IMO. Other than that, I find nothing majorly wrong with it. The mustang... well... to be honest, IMO, the 05-09 model interior sucked... VERY badly. End of story on that. I'm really looking forward to getting a good close look and feel for the Camaro's interior. The plastic IP really doesnt bother me at all. I almost never though that area of the dash on any car. From pictures, the only issues I have with the interior is that the passenger side of the dash is bare, and the steering wheel looks like it might be a little bit on the big side. If possible, could someone with a new Camaro measure the diameter of the wheel sometime? Thats my 2 cents. 1 or 2) Camaro or 370Z (I'll decide when I get into a Camaro) 3) Challenger 4) Mustang

When it comes to quality of interior materials/finish, the 370Z wins hands down. Still like the Camaro as a whole better though. |

Like I said, I'll make that decision when I get into a Camaro (hopefully today if the dealer wasn't BS'n me...). So far, I'm leaning toward 370Z. Material/finish are great in the 370Z, but to me the interior layout in the Camaro is simpler, and overall better.

It's a Camaro not a Caddy, Malibu, Impala or anthing else, and it is not pretending to be. There are things that sport cars do not have. A couple things the Camaro does have that most don't is torgue and speed. Don't look bad either. I'm a big fan of that.

I still don't understand cross shopping a 2 seater against a 4 seater.
You can't buy a 370Z for $22k ,so of course the interior of the Nissan is going to be better. If the GTO had started at $22K it wouldn't have had soft touch surfaces, high grade leather all over the seats and alcantara either. |

Plastic!
Plastic shouldn't deter me from this car---i had a 94", ever sat in a 94? Miles and miles of plastic on the IP and dash. Took half a bottle of armor-all to shine it up. When shined up the reflection was so bad it was almost impossible to see out of the windshield. No way the 2010 will look cheaper than my old 94" did. For me, the 2010 should be a huge upgrade. Oh by the way, the 94" was Purple pearl metallic. CGM looks (At least in pics) close to that color.

I like the fuel door on the right side. How many times have you gotten out at a gas station and tagged the dor on the pump island? You dont have that problem on the right side.

Challenger vs Camaro
Well, I too had some of the same issues but I really like the Camaro looks and nostalgia. My neighbor damn him brought home a new White Challenger last night. Smaller engine automatic but it sure looks good. So good I am going to go look at a Challenger tonight... orange with the Hemi 6.1 .... I very seriously doubt I would ever buy it.. My wife would kill me and I have always thought Dodge cars were crap.
Take care Quote:

I think the Challenger looks fantastic (exterior) but man I don't like the interior, and the handling is not up there with the Camaro.
