I think the interior is a bit polarizing.

I have a friend, not a Camaro fan. Drives an old Saturn. Not exactly a car guy. Every picture I've shown him, the one response I get is "The interior is awesome".

It's extremely simple. Beautiful in it's simplicity if you ask me. Maybe a *little* too simple (the passenger dash as I've stated).

I think people just have A.D.D. They want all this random junk thrown in. They think that somehow some overpriced PDA with a big, low resolution screen that can only run one application is somehow an indication of a high quality interior. You could mount a fricken laptop in your car for less money than a nav usually costs.

And the soft argument... I don't get that either. What I want is a sturdy interior that is comfortable. I think people have come to expect that a sturdy interior equates to one with soft touch materials. And that's just not always the case. Push on the panels, they aren't flimsy. I don't want something that's going to break, rattle, or squeak after a few months of ownership. Nor does anyone else. Soft touch is only part of the possible solutions. You need a sturdy, well fit interior. I believe the Camaro has that. That picture of the mustang console just screams flimsy to me. Maybe it's not, but it sure looks like it.
