Having sat in both this year, I have to agree with this one. The Ford Mustang did step up to the plate and delivered a very much improved interior while the Camaro has under delivered in comparison, especially with the ambient lighting gone from the dash which would have set it apart and perhaps evened the field in many peoples eyes. However the exterior is superb and the interior quality can be upgraded for a price to get the look you want down the road. I do agree the cheap looking painted silver should be chromed perhaps, and the vanity mirrors should have lights on them in the upper trim levels. I do agree that it was impossible for GM to make the Camaro's interior better than the Corvettes. However if they had made it look more like the concepts and not a mix between the concept and a cheap plasticy interior, then it would have been amazing. I do understand Fbodfathers comments in that they wanted to keep the price low, since he works with Cadillac now, he knows what an excellent interior looks and feels like.. If GM had asked me to help design the interior, I would have been able to give some really good input and constructive criticism.

With all that said, I am still buying a Camaro and am looking forward to it tremendously like a kid at Christmas..

I do agree with you that the 2LT and 2SS Camaro's should have differentiated themselves from the rest (price of package upgrade) in making the interior upgrades more robust in enhancing the quality and feel in comparison to the lower models...
