If interiors sold muscle cars than the LSX GTO would have been a hit.

Agreed. The GTO still has all three newcomers beat in the interior department if you ask me.

Honestly why does everyone care about the interior of these cars. I am a part time parking attendant and I park Mercedes', BMW, and Audi's all the time. Those brands are for high class individuals that don't know crap about cars and normally just want to get from point A to point B as comfortably as possible. We buy camaro's for the intense and raw power of their high HP and Torque engines not for their luxury amenities. When you drive a Camaro you should automatically be distracted by their big displacement engines and unique/classic looks. Also, I park alot of Fords' particularly Mustangs and you can see how the '08s have a terrible build quality. The doors in the '08 stangs feel heavier than my '98 Z doors, that's a shame. I'm 20 years old and to tell you the truth I'm surprised in what people are looking for in their cars. These are Camaro's not 745i, 750i, AMG, A6, electric shavers lol.

Just a bit of info for you: the current Mustang's doors are all steel....your Z's doors are shelled in fiberglass.

i wonder if you saw a preproduction car. They may be just thrown together as compared to a Off the line car. just a thought.

I'm glad, with as long as these doors are on the Camaro I don't want to know how heavy they'd be if they were all steel

That big metal bar does at weight but not as heavy as if the doors were entirely steel.

Just try the doors on a 79 camaro, 8 feet long and weigh a ton, no fiberglass in there. Interior wise they would have had to cut costs to get the price point with the drivetrain and suspension so it has the same feel as a Cobalt. If they made the interior as nice as possible too this car would cost just as much a Corvette.

After having sat in all three now, I think the mustangs' plastic interior is super cheap and some of the upscale stang versions are comparable to the base camaro. The base camaro is comparable to the base challenger and chargers. Now when you get to the SRT-8 levels of those vehicles the SS package looks a lot better in the camaro.

All I'm saying is no matter how cheap the interior feels or looks, its better in quality than most stangs on the road (especially base 05+ mustangs and the cheaper GTs) and incredibly comparable to the same vehicles in its class

I dont care if they had to save some money by using some "cheap" materials, but I dont spend thousands of dollars on a new car and not expect quality. Cheap and quality are two different things.

The funniest thing about this entire post is that Motor Trend (some of the biggest anti car yay interior people out there) claimed that this car is unworthy to be compared to a Mustang or Challenger, and that the G37 and 335 should look out.

Whats funny is that a lot of the V6 models at the car show are EARLY EARLY preproduction models with unfinished interiors. In fact a lot of them you couldnt even sit in because of that. I bet that is what has happened to the OP. GM is making the interiors amazing nowadays even on base base models (not counting the Aveo).

To the original poster, I couldn't disagree more. The cars I sat in recently at the auto show had nice two-tone leather interior, nice lighting for the gauges, excellent layout, nicely shaped unique steering wheel, much nicer switches & controls than the competition, Charger & Mustang.

So true. I'd still love to have the GTO seats in any car I own.
