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.

Lighting: front reading lamps, interior dome with illuminated entry and theatre dimming
Page 14 of the Initial Ordering Workbook states;

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.

That keeps saying "around gauges" though. The ambient lighting we're talking about runs across the dash and in the door panels. The gauges would have a "floating appearance" if it was backlit and the actual gauge was lifted off of the light source. I think the "floating gauges" are there.
