if they could add navy, and make it look good, id be okay with it.
but, i have yet to see that done in a sports car.
in a CTS the navy is really cool.
in other luxury cars and SUV its a good feature.
this is a pony car.

So the navi in a 370z and 2010 Mustang to name a few, doesnt look good?

It's about 5 years to late and looks on par with the 2005 Mustang.

The buttons look like a 1987 Nissan Sentra.. Not to rag on the Sentra but I don't see how anybody likes that Nav screen and button combo??

But it doesn't bother me personally.

The GP will be lucky to get close enough to mine.

Well thats my point outside the Camaro peeps/performance peeps the GP doesnt look at vehicles in the same vein

in exotics it does.

There are going to be many ways to enhance the interior. Trust me.

As for cheap interior even the 77k dollar Z06 has a plastic and rubberish interior. My C6 was horrible but its how you dress it up. But, just like the Camaro you do not buy the car for the interior..

Here is a look afterwards and it is so much more exotic and smells like a leather store.

So your saying your ok with spending that kind of money and having to spend more because your interior sucked?

i do not like it in a vette, i do not like it in a z, i do not like them anywhere.

the CTSV and XLR are exceptions. i wouldnt call them exotic, but nav fits them.

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.

Yep Even if it came with an interior like a Benz or BMW I would still mod it. Its in my blood. Lambos are awesome in side with all of the leather which that is my personal taste.

it just means he has a lot more money to spend on his car than I and many of us camaro buyers do.

Well, My wife has a Lexus IS350 and the dash is soft but I felt of the dash on the Camaros that were at Scotts last Monday and they felt soft to me. Not as soft as Bonnies Lexus but much softer than what's in our Jeep Liberty. It was fine with me.
