Too much plastic on dashboard

I'm a camaro fan just as much or more as the next guy, but man did they put a lot of mundane plastic on the front console/dashboard.

Really its a valid comment. I mean if GM pays attention to C5 members recommendations, hopefully we'll see an improvement to the front end interior.

I'm not necessarily saying it shouldn't be made of plastic but something more than a sea of black plastic.

Have you ever seen the dash on a 98-02? That thing is HUGE. And nowadays they all seem to have a sizeable amount of plastic.

They should just remove the plastic and the whole dash to make these babies super lightweight!
