These are the picture I found. You need to check a 2012 model year. Zoom this, and compare the digit ',3 '' for example.

Again, if it really bugs you I will trade speedo/tachs with you. I personally can't see a difference.

Design ! The style of the lettering is different. Zoom the pic and compare the digits.
I do not try to create a debate here, I just post this in order for GM to improve. In this type of issue, it is always a question on where you draw the lines in terms of Quality of Design.
The Camaro is a very beautifull car. A detail like this, is easy to correct for the people who decided to upgrade the cluster for the model year 2012 but forgot, volountary or not, the font/ digits format of the 4 gauges of the console.

My guess is GM got complaints about the dash styling, so they made a change.

True, and you can see the boost gauge on the ZL1 console. They could have easily made the new ZL1 console gauges match the dash, as these were brand new designs, not leftover 2010 stuff... yet they did not match either.

It's called cost cutting. It was faster/cheaper to just leave them. It's not radically different and it's impossible to see both at the same time.
