To the best of my knowledge, GM has never officialy said they would have it, have they? If so can someone direct me to it? I know it's in some of the cars but I kinda liked the center console going all the way over the back seat but that's not the way it is. Can't complain cause they never officialy said it would in the production car. MSRP doesn't say anything about it. This is what happens when they give so much info so far in advance. I wonder if they regret it at all? I looked for it in the ordering guide and workbook but only found "Factory Illumination Package" but no explanation. Where is the GM official explanation?
Just wondering.
From the FAQ on Chevylaunch

Is there anything unique about the interior styling of Camaro coupe?

Inside, Camaro coupe offers available four-pack gauges in the center console, a “deep- dish” thick grip, three-spoke steering wheel, available ambient lighting, contemporary graphics, oversized knobs with chrome detail and contemporary, comfortable seating. Design inspiration was drawn not only from the First Generation Camaro, but also various consumer products such as stylish cell phones, appliances and wristwatches.

From the Product description on Chevylaunch

Interior

* Single-zone air conditioning
* Coat hooks, driver and passenger side rear
* Floor console with armrest
* Electric rear window defogger
* Power door locks
* Power windows
* Lockable glove box
* Power outlets (two)
* Remote Keyless Entry
* AM/FM/XM with 6 speakers (80 watts), CD player and MP3 playback
* “Deep-dish” thick grip, three-spoke steering wheel
* Ambient light pipe technology around all gauges
* Front Sport bucket seats with power recline, adjustable head restraints
* Folding rear seat with trunk pass-through
* PASSkey III theft-deterrent system

Interior Accent Package

Camaro coupe offers an Interior Accent Package. A black interior is complemented with the following Inferno Orange accented features:

* Leather seating surfaces
* Steering wheel
* Shift knob
* Door armrest
* Center console
* Instrument panel
* Door trim
* Light piping

Page 5 of the Salesperson Reference Guide in the bottom-middle of the page states;

Special lighting around all gauges to give a “floating” appearance

Probably not the same item, but on the back side of the Camaro Ordering Reference, and on page 8 of the Initial Ordering Workbook, it states;

Lighting: front reading lamps, interior dome with illuminated entry and theatre dimming

Page 14 of the Initial Ordering Workbook states;

Camaro owners who have the factory Illumination

can add even more color options with this
available trim kit.

SO,

There are several locations that GM has mentioned this technology and it's still showing up on the product description section on Chevylaunch, so I think it's gonna be there. At least I hope it is.
