The Interior

[acscamarochick06]

I hate the tach area... they have got to change that whole "retro" look of the big numbers. I like how my 2001 Camaro has the little individual lines that tell you just how fast you're going. With the tach like it is on the concept, how would I be able to argue myself out of a ticket?! :p I like the various extras you can see on the closeup of the panel shot of the convertible concept (like the headlamp light, etc.) I think that's pretty neat.

I will also say that IMO, the orange in the coupe concept is absolutely hideous. But when I saw the interior of the convertible, I liked it somewhat better. I just want my interior color to correspond well with my exterior color.

I also would like to have the option like some of the newer cars are coming out with now where you can change the back light behind your instrument panel from pink, purple, blue, green, whatever. I'm a blue kind of girl, myself.

I also hope that my seats stay low to the ground like they are in my 4th gen. I love my low seats and I think they are extremely comfortable. I would drive my car to California and back (and that's quite a long way from Kentucky!) without thinking twice about it, and I know my seats would be comfortable.

I actually think that the DOT states no more than 20 mph incriments between the numbers on speedometers. (I might be completley wrong, its just what i heard)

Not sure. Better than the old 85 MPH maximum during the 80s they had. Like that would actually stop people from speeding. Just looks all wrong in my dad's 81' Vette

I love that the speedo and tach are retro and the air and stereo controls look futuristic. It's a nice combo of retro and contemporary. I hate all the dials and knobs and crap cars now have all down the center of the dash.

that was my imediate perception between the coupe and vert. the orange metalic in the coupe is extremely ugly, however the white/ssilver whatever it is looks great compaired to the coupe

I think I did hear something like that somewhere. We just have to remember the only version of the interior we (most of us) have seen is a concept. So the 25mph increments with no divisions inside - is unrealistic, and unpractical. how are you supposed to know if your going 40mph...there's no line for it...

IMO, production will see those gauges with smaller numbers ("font-size"), and more increments, but same gauge shape.

But, dont' you think that's a given? Something they will obviously change? That's why I don't bother to complain about it, it's not gonna stay, I'm sure.

It should match the exterior color, yes. But not necessarily have to be the same. I'd probably only get it in a metallic silver myself.

Yeah, I definitely would like to see that. Purple kinda guy myself (and I don't care how gay that sounds...).

I, too, liked the lowered seating position of the 4th Gens. I haven't found many cars I've liked the position as much as.

But, that said, I'm currently in a loaner vehicle since my put-put Aveo has been at the dealership for a week. It's a 2006 Dodge Stratus. I have to say, it's seating position is VERY nice. A nice balance between the super low 4th Gen and a higher seating position. That, and the Stratus has some really comfy seats.

Personally I hate those large ugly screens in cars. I'd be just as happy (happier) with our Garmin Nuvi 350 coming along if I need directions.

Just imagine how useless all those screens will be in 5-10 years, or less even, when they're outdated and starting to break down.

Just get a removable unit for a LOT less $.
