Question Interiors Pontiac vs. Chevy

I'm wondering if the Pontiac Firebird's interior is better than the Camaro 98+ which do you think is better and why?

The Pontiac's interior is a little nicer and a little better in fit and finish. They also have lumbar support.

I like the Pontiac interior a lot better. It's not a "better" interior, I just like the design a lot.

i really dig the pontiac interior as well. but i wouldnt say its better in any way than the camaro, its more of a personal taste thing.

the camaro is a little boxey and squarish, while the pontiac has more of a sculpted and curvy look.

I don't like the Pontiac's big gray goofy looking buttons on the stereo and surrounding areas. My buddy had am 02 WS6 before it was stolen and that was the one thing I didn't like about it.

Both have their good and bad points . . . . I like the TA Seats and Door Panels . . . So so on the dash . . . Can't stand the "RED" lighting . . . The light grey buttons . . . eh . . . Camaro dash is cleaner . . . but a little boring . . . styling on the Camaro back seat is way better (talking stock here)

I vote for the Camaro interior (less the front seats). It has always seemed to me that every Pontiac car since the mid 80's has attempted to create some futuristic look, but it just doesn't go over well with me. The 98+ Camaro design is simple and easy to use (i.e. Honda and Toyota but with not even close to the same fit and finish). Still the one thing I miss about my Honda is the fit and finish of that interior.

I vote for the Camaro's interior. I like the rectangle vents and the more subtle look over the Pontiac circular futuristic looking interior.
