I have to say - that's a much better looking / proper center stack than the gimmicky radio/HVAC controls in the Camaro. And I like the use of real metal on the trim pieces. I like the dash gauge pods in the Camaro but don't like that they're trimmed out with silver/grey painted plastic. A soft treatment or aluminum treatment would look much better. Even the accents in the Mustang's door panels look like leather inserts - rather than the shiny plastic stuff in the Camaro. EVERYTHING else about the Camaro IS and LOOKS better than the Mustang. |

I sat in the new Mustang and honestly wasn't impressed by the interior. It does look better than the current models but the center stack is boring. I don't know what kind of magic lighting they used in their photo shoots, but both the interior and exterior look better in pictures.

The Mustang's center stack isn't ugly, but it's certainly very 'pedestrian'. It looks like every other car out there for the most part. Purely average. I'll take the Camaro's unique interior any day over a 'common' one. ALL factory nav units should be popup imo. Those big screens are VERY ugly when used like in the Mustang (and most other cars other than the CTS). |

I love everything about the new Camaro EXCEPT the center stack and painted and/or shiny plastics in the interior. IMO, they look gimmicky. The speed/tach ometer pods are another example. They'd look fabulous if they weren't trimmed in painted grey plastic. |

I agree. Camaro still wins 10x over for me. But I like the 11' mustang's interior more. (judging by pictures of both only)

With me I just don't care for the center stack on the Camaro, everything else is great IMO. However, I like the seats in the Mustang. They look unique.

B. Aftermarket cosmetic accessories don't always look the best either. C. That Center stack / HVAC area would be a nightmare for an aftermarket company. I think GM wasted their time by going out of their way to make the center stack so unique. It may have received good reviews from the concept car but it didn't translate well in plastic. I would have MUCH preferred a more simple center stack with a double-dinn head unit that actually could be replaced if you wanted to. This is one area that I definitely prefer Ford's direction. I love the exterior of this car. But I need to see the interior in-person before buying. In pictures, it looks too gimmicky to me: Odd, un-changable center stack, no nav/backup screen, no electronic / automatic HVAC control, large shiny plastic on the doors, grey painted guage bezels, large oval chrome door handles. If I liked the interior 1/2 as much as the exterior, I would've ordered an SS by now. |

To each his own.
I love the interior. It's a tribute to the original '69 Camaro.
