I think GM and Nissan traded some tech secrets. We are getting the HUD's and chevy is getting the DRM.

That Camaro interior is awful. It looks like it was designed by Fisher Price.

I used to think so too until I had a 2013 rental. I don't particularly care for the style but quality wise it was very nice. Surprised the hell out of me.

Gauge placement is incredibly stupid though. The Z has it right with the three pods within line of sight. The Camaro tucks them under the dash in the center console.... Wat

The reason for the brutal gauge placement is, retro. The old cars had the same placement.

I really dislike the Nav screen on the 2013 model. Looks like an afterthought.

Quality of materials is fine. Ergonomics has issues. But if some never been in one after 2011? Then they are giving highly limited information. The gauges on the bottom is ergo-horrid but identical to the 68 camaro. So it's done more for nostalgia.

I like the Camaro interior better than my 2010 370z nismo.
nismo had cloth seats. 2SS has leather seats.
cloth seats in a $40k car.

While some people say the Camaro interior looks cheap (probably true compared to other 370z models), to me it looks better than the Nismo's

Hey, at least you can order a Nav with it and it doesn't cost $2k

the Hurst short shifter is much better than the 370z's shifter though.
Some people here would complain about how difficult it is to drive a manual 370z smoothly.

They would have no problem in the Camaro.

That picture doesn't even look real. Looks like some kind of photoshop nightmare.

That nav looks terribly awkward. Looks like someone bought a nav at best buy and retrofitted it in.

I'll agree there. The Camaro wasn't supposed to have nav because of the On-star. You can get turn by turn through it. But having a unit in the car is so popular they decided to go with it. People rather have the visual aid. (Understandable). So to appease the general public, they added one. It does kind of look like an afterthought. But Chevy's new MyLink is one of the best link systems out there. More advanced than Ford and dodge chrysler's system. It's only $800, which is $1200 less than us.

I personally feel all that techy garbage belongs in SUV's, not sports cars. But hey, to each his own.

I like all that tech in sports cars because I like to DD sports cars.

my DD has no built in Nav -- I use Garmin.
but my weekend cars both have factory Nav.
I thought I would buy a Mustang before Chevy put Nav into the Camaro.

It was tough to find a Camaro with Nav
and I had to place an order for a WRX to get Nav in the car color that I like.
that takes 16 weeks :-O but my dealer told me, it's on its way to the US.

hehe. I don't pay much attention on how it looks to tell you the truth. the fact that it's there is a plus for me in time when I have to go somewhere where i have never been before. The selling point of a muscle car is the engine and how it sounds and this car has a pretty good engine/sound. The fact that its Nav doesn't look pretty doesn't deter muscle car lovers like me
