The Interior - Instrument Panel
Inside Camaro, there is a distinct departure from past versions. A blend of 1969 styling themes with a truly modern take is a good description of what lies ahead of the driver and passenger. Directly ahead is a pair of large, deeply set gages which display the 160 mph speedometer and coolant temperature gages on the left backed up by an 8,000 rpm tachometer and fuel gage on the right. Seperating the pair is Chevrolet's Driver Information Center (DIC) which displays functions like fuel ecomomy, odometer, compass, and tire pressures.

The steering Wheel is now a traditional three-spoke design with a very small horn button which conceals the driver's air bag. This is a nice departure from past and current GM air-bag equipped wheels, giving more room to see the instruments. In the center of the horn button, there is the Camaro script, while at the bottom of the wheel, at the base of the third spoke is the SS emblem when so equipped. The wheel being shown is leather wrapped, however, LS versions will most likely get a vinyl cover wheel. The leather wheel shown does look relatively thick for a good grip, and the spokes placed low, at about the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Similar to the Pontiac G8 wheel, there are many controls on the spokes of the wheel. Controls the DIC menus, and speed control are on the spokes of the wheel. Surprisingly, other than the controls for the Bluetooth enabled phone function, there doesn't appear to be any radio functions on the wheel.

To the right of the driver's binacle is what is now commonly referred to as the "center stack", containing the radio and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) controls, which on the new Camaro are a genuine work of art. The radio is clearly different than any other GM application with a large multi-line display showing the clock, station, artist information, temperature, and band. The volume/power switch is on the left and the tuning knob to the right. There are the traditional GM buttons lining up 8-accross below the radio display. Below the buttons are the CD slot, and to the left of the slot is the recepticle for the auxiliary audio device. Considering how much emphasis GM has put forth on their current generation of "Black-Tie" radios, it is interesting that GM would invest a large sum of money into a unique radio for such a low volume car. That being said, any other radio would cause the interior of the car to loose it's mood.

The upper dash pad has kept a great deal of the flair of the concept's, with the added benefit of being usable. The shiny metallic trim used on the concept is still there in spirit and add a great deal of "wow" to the interior. On the passenger's side, a large bin-style glovebox is used.
Below the radio are the HVAC using simple rotary controls for fan speed and temperarure selection backed by a rather complex looking air distribution system. On the initial skethces supplied by GM, the inner buttons were also to contain the controls for the seat heaters, but currently absent on the photos and information supplied by Chevrolet. In between the HVAC controls is the switch for the central locking and also the hazard warning switch.
Below the center stack and residing in the center console is a cluster of four gauges which Chevrolet is referring to as a "four-pack". The gauges are comprised of a voltmeter, engine oil pressure & temperature, and a torque gauge. The torque gauge was previously seen on the Chevrolet SSR, and at that time was reserved for manual transmission applications only. In the console, ahead of the shiter, is the switch for Stabilitrak and a 12-volt accessory power socket. The center console is no longer attached to the instrument panel. Ths was done to increase the feeling of spaciousness of the interior.

The Interior - Seating & Trim
In both the Coupe and convertible concepts, Camaro looked bound to have the ultimate in seats. The coupe with its ebony coverings and copper accents were certainly stunning, but no less stunning than the white of the convertible. For the production version a simpler interior is pressed into service. The front buckets seats have lost their street racer side bolsters, obviously for easier entry and exit in daily use. The seats also appear to be a bit wider to accomodate those of us who are a bit wider as well.

At the rear, the seats like the fronts, have a pattern similar to what was found on the concept. Safety is a big part of the next Camaro so it will have side impact air bags that deploy from the roof rails to protect all and thorax bags which are part of the seats for the front seat pasengers. The door panels also have the shiny metallic appearing panels embedded into the trim which wrap into the upper dash.
