The 6th interior reminds me of something the guys at Car and Driver would rave about.... in a Subaru or a Lexus.

I know it was inevitable that the Camaro would move into the 21st century. I'm sure GM will sell a million of them. I'm probably the only guy in the world who likes the older style interior. I don't need a heated steering wheel. I don't need fancy lights on the doors. Gimme some gauges, real V8 sound, and some rock n roll.
I too like the interior retro look of my 5th gen ...along with probably a few hundred thousands others. With the gauge pack on the console it does remind one of a 1st Gen interior. It does look righteous! I'm glad I have a Camaro I can start with a key and not a Camarxus

Okay...soo....according to the Camaro community..

2010-2011 Steering Wheel= Cool but difficult to hold, seems like it should have been easier to design

2012-2015 Wheel=OMG IT'S FROM THE CRUZE HOW DARE THEY THE CAMARO SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN WHEEL

2016= Why is the wheel all frowny and weird? I like the previous wheel more..

Me=Wait what?

Okay I do have to say having seen them "in action" on that interior features video on page 1..

I really dont like I'm going to like the HVAC controls. The huge rings around the vents that control the temp and fan speed seem kind of comical and overly gimmicky.

I like the 2016 wheel too, I was just repeating what I've already seen a few times

Actually the round vents were on the 67-68 Camaros. People need to get over with this obsession of comparing features or styling with other cars. There are only so many ways you can shape a vent, or tail light, ect.... ect, somewhere or someplace someone has designed something similar....
Just look at the side above the door indentation, it has a swoop character line, now where have I seen THAT before.... Hmmmm see there is always something out there the same or close to what you are looking at.

I love it. I think they did a fantastic job all around. This is no doubt the best bang for your buck V8 RWD 2-door 4-seat car on the planet for the price range.

I'm glad they did well with the styling -- I like the new Mustang but it's kind of unattractive from some angles, this car looks good all round. Great mix of modern style and hints of classic muscle. The styling really bridges the sports car and muscle car feel.

My only slight complaint is how they smoothed out the wheel fender flairs, there's no defining line like there used to be. I liked that defining line but this is really minor.

LOVE THE INTERIOR! Smartly designed and high quality.

Congrats GM! I'm thinking I'll probably get a Gen6 ZL1 when it comes out

Comparing between models is how we communicate the progression or classic throw backs to a car's evolution.

The the thing is most people are comparing completely unrelated cars, like all those tail light comparisons Hondas of the refresh and now grille comparisons with toyotas and tail light comparisons with mitsubishis. If you want to compare nobody would complain if you found another Chevy to compare it to to show its heritage or where it might have come from.
