Default I saw it in person! NAIAS pics

Well I made the three hour drive up to see it and Iam glad I did. Because like alot people I have only seen the pics and was on the fence as to weather or not I liked it. Let me tell you the pics dont do it any justice, just wait till you see one in person. I sat in it and everything, you guys are gonna love it, its pretty cool. My camerra decided to act up so I borrowed these pics from another forum for those that hadn't seen them. Enjoy.

Thanks for the interior pics.
There was a roped off silver SS at my local show. Couldn't get close or open the doors.

The car seems to look great in red.

i dont like the grill or the wheels, but im sure the aftermarket will have something to offer in those departments. other than that i think its an amazing looking car! i wonder how hard it will be to get a test drive when they finally get at the dealerships

I went to the show yesterday as well, and yes you can sit in the car. It was the most popular car of the show to the public, the only car that had a line to get into the whole time I was there. As far as interior quality, the dash and some of the console is hard textured plastic, however everything you touch on the door, steering wheel, shifter feels awesome, soft and high quality. Even the dash still felt firm and not squeaky and plasticy like older GM cars. The seats are VERY comfortable, comparable to the challengers seats, and alittle softer than a mustang. While some might be upset about the hard plastic dash, the only cars that had soft materials on their dash were luxury cars, every car that i sat in that compares to the camaro or is even in the same price range had the same dash matierials, from the mustang challenger to some sporty imports. Overall i was really impressed by the car, and everyone around it was amazed.

At least they may come with a sunroof.
Just because it`s called Camaro, doesn`t mean i will buy it.

I live in michigan and I have seen this car on the road twice. Once in the winter and once yesterday. The first time I seen it was a red one and it looked pretty dam sexy in the dark. The one i seen yesterday was like a sky blue type color and he hit the gas right through an intersection. It was pretty bad ***.
