Well if you fondled them when you were 18 I'd hate to see what you'd do to them now you old perv!

-Was never a fan of the way the interior door handles are looped
-Slightly Cheesy looking speaker grilles in the doors.
-Center HVAC vents with cheap looking directional "knobs"
-MyLink was a MASSIVE improvement over the miserable stereo it replaced. But no option for auto climate control in 2014 is appalling.
-Cup holders are in the direct line of the shifter
-The parking brake lever is incredibly cheap looking and too big/long.
-Speedometer/tack needles were improved in 2012 but the gauges still don't exude quality

Challenger and Mustang interiors might not be much higher quality in materials. But they did a better job on perceived quality.
I liked the original CAMARO steering wheel. Not the Cruz one that is used now. I like the retro gauges down by the shifter, but I'd like to seem them modernized a bit.

I don't mind keeping some retro items in the car, but make it look better then just a cheap afterthought.

Yep, yep... and... yep.

The original CAMARO steering wheel would have been great if it didn't have the feel of an oversized truck steering wheel. Same problem on the first year C6 Corvette. The best solution would be to use the wheel they have now - which feels great - but replace the Chevrolet logo with a Camaro logo on the airbag.

I also like the retro console gauges and agree that they need a dose of upgrade in the perceived quality department. Too much painted plastic.

That's why I'm hoping the 2016's get a major upgrade inside. And yes, Camaro is #1 sales out of the 3, but it's not because of the interior lol performance and exterior styling are superb.

Your interior shot is of a 2015 Mustang (new design) , but a 2014 Challenger. Go check out the 15 Challenger. Definitely an improvement from 14.

Lol... This is the worst pic of the Camaro interior! And the Camaro speedometer pods are better to me than Dodge 2004 speedometers in the challenger and better than the mustangs 2 circles ! Have you seen all 3 interior in person? And why you only post a color interior pic of the challenger? Dodge had the worst out of the 3 ! Check 2009 to 2011 . Now Camaro definitely has better with the 2012 and up interior and have you seen the 1LE or the ZL1 interior? I saw almost every mag give Camaro the best interior design award!

Alot of ppl was picking between the challenger and Camaro but most pick Camaro because of the design and gadgets in the Camaro! All 3 are nice , just to be Camaro gives you more for your money. And performance ...... What ? Where have you been? The Camaro is slower than the challenger and mustang in the straights! So ima have to say you're wrong with that ppl pick the Camaro because of performance! Unless you're talking about on the track!

The 5th gen interior really is crappy. The 2012 update just made it less crappy. Knowing what GM can do and has done with interiors, the 5th gen is a disappointment.

Sorry not sorry. I'm not going to be a fanboy and pretend the Camaro is 100% perfect. Interior has always been a weak point from day one. And not sure what you're talking about as every mag has pointed that fact out too.

Uh , what mag picked a challenger interior over the Camaro? The interioris the weak point for the C5 but that's because of the material. design wise, it's way better and that's what matters. And I'm no fan boy because I don't like non of Chevy new cars except the C7 ! The Malibu I liked before they put that new front on it! other wise, I take alot of Dodge cars over Chevy new ones!

Agree with changing the lettering style. I hate the slanted SS, RS, etc. badges. I've gone retro on the grille and trunk, and if I could figure out a way to sh*t-can that stinking little slanted SS on the steering wheel I'd replace that too. Hate it!

Oh yeah... I think the bowties look cheap and hate them too!
