Default Interior lighting looks awesome

I really hope the interior lighting makes it to production, mainly the lights in the headliner. Those look f-in awesome.

They are definintely cool looking, but I also doubt it'll make production due to how much that probably costs.

those lights are way cool, but think about it- when you're driving at night and need to check the map, you want the light just where you need it, not all over the place and ruining your night vision. That's movie-star lighting for showing off the people inside, not usable interior lighting.

What I do really like is how the seatbelt receptacles are built into the seat. very smooth.

I hope they change the gauges by the shifter and the gauge faces for speedo/tach, otherwise, I think the interior is liveable.

I hope it comes to production "as-is". Especially with all the aluminum, and not silver plastic instead.

cup holders? yea, when i buy a car, i want cup holders. I dont let ppl drink in my car now let alone my brand new 2009 camaro. I think not. no cup holders, no reason to drink in the car yes, the lighting would be awesome as hell in there, but they wont do that cause GM is stupid. gay little map light, i think i have used mine 5 times in 1 year owning the car. the guages i think look awesome, except for the clock in between the MPH and RPM. i would be thrilled they left the interior that way. i love the gauges down by the shifter.

I really like the interior now too, at first I hated it but now it looks sweet. I just hope they do something about that ugly orange/gold trim on the dash and doors. I really hope they can keep that steering wheel too, I hate airbags because they make the steering wheels really clunky looking and feeling but that one looks really good.

I also hope the interior space is bigger than the Mustang like all the previous Camaros because I can't fit in any of the newer mustangs (I'm fine in the classic Stangs as long as they have power steering so they don't have the 2ft. diameter steering wheel). I'm 6'4" or so.

I doubt it'll look anything like that. Interior is where GM cuts the most corners.

I hate air bags? who the hell hates safety lol? i hate seat belts cause you know, they save your life..you know, i don't want a windshield of doors either. Actually, to make the car coolor and faster, lets make the car out of scrap coca-cola cans...

Will those seatbelts make it? If you're in a colision won't the seats,seatbelt & occupant be flung forward? as opposed to being mounted behind (if there is anywhere to mount them, long doors no pillar) & keeping the whole thing restrained!

hmm, no idea. maybe if the seat's designed for it. They'd have to way upgrade the strength and mounting. But it'd be nice to not have the belt strap in the way getting to the back.
