I drive the exact same car you do stovt (a 2006 Cobalt), and honestly, while the interior does seem a bit cheap to me, it's never disappointed me to the point where I felt depressed or sad to be in the car. It's not even an SS, just an LT, but I think it's a fun little car, the interior looks sporty to me, and it's comfortable, which is most important to me. The only complaint I'd put out there is that, like someone said, where my body touches should be comfy, and the door armrests are a little thin and hard, but still not so much that I hate driving it. I really like my car and I feel I got what I paid for, so I'm confident I'll feel the same way with the Camaro, even if the interior is plastic. It's not for everyone though, and at this point, unfortunately for those who dislike it, the only way to change it is to go aftermarket and have a custom interior done. I'm sorry the car isn't everything everyone wishes. That would be truly awesome, and I wish everyone enjoyed the car as much as those truly happy with it. But compromises had to be made for various reasons, and I still stand by the statement that we're getting what we pay for, and it's a very good deal.
