Cool Report: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro to get upgraded interior, Z28



Originally Posted by AutoBlog.Com
When the Chevrolet Camaro debuted in production form, opinions on the design have been largely split between the interior and exterior. The exterior styling and execution has been almost universally praised while the interior has been deemed barely competitive with the Ford Mustang. The last Ford Mustang.

The problem is that while that the Camaro was hitting the streets, Ford rolled out a revised 'Stang with an all-new and vastly improved interior. Thankfully, Chevrolet wants to rectify things post haste, so the cheap plastic dash is likely to be discarded and hopefully a steering wheel with less canted rim will replace the current unit. Unfortunatel,y changes to the enormous A-pillars are unlikely, meaning that visibility will still suck.

Since we're talking about changes inspired by competition with the Mustang, it appears that the Z28 will probably be removed from the cold storage shelf and put back on the road. Motivation is rumored to be supplied by a version of the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA used in the Cadillac CTS-V with about 550 horsepower, but we're not going to believe that until one appears on the show stand.

I've never seen the interior of the 5th Gens, but I'm pretty sure it's better then ours. And as far as the Z28, like AutoBlog said, I'll believe it when I see it...

Well 2012 is also a very special year, with or without the z28, it will be the 45th anniversary so I'm sure there will be something special.

Maybe the 2012 Camaro with the LSA is what the Mayan's were predicting would bring the end of the world.

the interior of those car are hideous i prefer the interior of an 4th gen 20 times more then 5th they look cheap and ricey imo

if the "z28" ever comes out and with a new interior it might be time for me to sell my car for a down payment

They should focus on a weight loss plan.

Actually, they look cheap and American. Crappy chrome-esc trim, flat miles of plastic with bland styling. The best GM interiors I've seen recently were the C6, GTO and 2010 SRX.

I love the interior of my LS1 TA, but I know it could use improvement (spend any time in a G35), but the 5th gen isn't all that.

Still better than anything Chrysler's got, in any of their vehicles.
