Old vs New style Dash

I have seen people mention that the dash was changed for 2012 I believe, but I haven't been able to find a thread explaining this any further. I didnt really notice a difference in the pictures I have seen would somebody be so kind as to fill me in on what exactly changed!?

There's leather on it now where before it was all plastic. The gauges are a different font as well as a different steering wheel.

I'm kinda pissed they didn't incorporate "camaro" onto the steering wheel and just used the Chevy bowtie. One of the reasons I went with a 2011 instead of a 12. Either way, it's still the same great car!

I have the 2012 and every time I look at another camaro with the 2010 handles, I want to go to the shop and change it.

With the plastic designs and the incorporated word "camaro" looks so much more sleek.
It looks somewhat similar to the mustang handles... but still very sleek.

How much would it cost to change it anyways?

I actually never really looked at the steering wheels side by side, but I am liking the first one better.

It doesn't say Camaro but mine does say "SS" on the bottom (where the red, white and blue are in the above picture).

Better than nothing I guess.


I think the 2010/2011 wheels look way better but the 2012/2013 wheels are way more comfortable.

no one even mentioned the stereo. It's a touch screen I think and much larger, more flat and square. I didn't like it personally and it sealed the deal for me getting a 2012.

They were talking about the 2012 vs earlier models, 2012 does not have the touch screen, thats 2013.

Steering wheel: 10/11 looks. 12/13 ergonomics
Dashboard: 10/11 plasticky. 12/13 A/C vent bezel and leather/suede.
Speedo cluster: 10/11 fonts. 12/13 needles

The 12/13 dash itself is nicer than the 10/11 models IMHO..
