2016 Camaro Interior vs S550 Interior

[Childs Play]

You see that as over done the same way I see the Camaro as WAY under done.:shrug:

I guess I don't see how either are overdone really (although I can see how some people want less).

You want overdone? Go drive a Mercedes and figure out how that 1 million option touch pad works where I'm pretty sure there might be an option to order pizza and have it delivered to your car while driving, but if there is I wouldn't know how to do it so there probably really isn't but I'd never know the difference, and then we can talk about overdone. :lol:

What I mean by under done is. In a large degree the 5th gen Camaro and to a lesser degree 6th gen. Your paying upwards of 50 grand for a giant plastic dashboard with no details. I liked my old 2011 Camaros exterior styling a lot. But I absolutely hated the interior! The seats sucked. Most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in! Ergonomics was a complete after thought. And the interior styling was dredful. The 6th gen. has improved on some things. The seats are a little softer and there is a little more head room. Still not enough jf you taller than average guy like me. The dash is still a mile of plastic. If I'm spending in the case of the Camaro 48-51 grand for a 2SS. I want more, not less. Some Camaro owners will argue they are getting more performance. But to me it's a lot easier for me to load a tune and make up the power difference that it is for them to change their interior.

Ah... I read your previous post wrong. I thought you said both were OVER done. Sounded weird to me but I went with it. But I agree with you on the bland interior in the 5th gen Camaro for everything but the seats. I thought they were pretty comfortable. However I went from a 2001 Jeep Cherokee to a Camaro SS then ZL1. And........ then to a Nissan Versa. At least until oil goes back up and I can afford to buy fun things again. :(
So... eye of the beholder there I guess.

But I agree that the Camaro interior was bland and plastic-y. As for the new one, the only thing that stuck out to me as ridiculously cheap looking was the touch screen. Seriously... It looks like cheap snapped together flat black plastic. If you sit in the passenger seat it looks even worse and really out of place. Why can't car companies just integrate their damn screens in the dash... I don't get why it has to look like a tablet or whatever they're trying to go for in a lot of cars these days. It looks stupid as hell to me.

Other than that I liked it. I'm 6'2 - 220 lb and fit fine. Although I'll never sit in the back seat and feel bad for any of my friends that might have to. :lol:

The whole interior is a random explosion of soft shapes that look tacked on with velcro. It's really disjointed, particularly so with a non-solid-black interior. You have to be careful with trying to be too cute with reusing primitives where they don't fit, you lose the flow, all you see is the design (if that makes any sense[?]).

At the very least applaud GM trying to do something different, but then, instead of being totally unique - like you pointed out - they copied that weird floating AV/Nav system trend.

The recently revised GT-R has a new dash, so Nissan had the option to better integrate the AV/Nav, and what did they do? Put it on a protruding, floating panel that _looks_ like it should retract, but doesn't (that being said the updated GT-R is amazing, it's such a jarring exercise in non-sports design, it's hard to ignore - and I realize some folks really despise it ...)

Yea I don't know what it is with companies doing the protruding screens... Apparently someone out there is buying it and likes it. That person however, isn't anyone I know.

For the record, I dislike the ultra minimal interiors too, when I'm riding in a Telsa it's like being in a shipping container with a TV ...

Haha. But you have a touch screen the size of Manhattan in there. :lol:

With all that said, the Camaro has been pretty much praised for its interior. I only really see Mustang fans butt hurt over the Camaro complaining about the styling, or using styling as a way to knock the car. Is visibility a geniun knock, absolutely. Mustangs have their visibility issues too. Like seeing the front corners on your cars.

I've sat in both cars extensively, and for you to say the Camaros seats are a little softer just shows your bias. I'm 6'4" and 220 lbs, how is it I have head room and you don't? Please also inform me of what "less" the Camaro is giving you. I mean two 8 inch screens, heated steering, a head up display, availability to change the interior lighting, heated and ventilated seats, Apple car play and android integration, wireless charging, park assist, lane change alert, blind spot alert, electronic parking brake. I could go on, but the fact is all those 8 million buttons on the Mustang does not equal, "more". You get "more" from the Camaro technology wise. Plain and simple.

the only thing it has that the mustang doesn't is a HUD and heated steering. A HUD would be neat i guess, but i could care less about heated steering. But then again i'm in GA and our winters average a bone chilling 30 degrees, lol.

Wireless charging? Ok, like 75% of phones don't support it, and it's behind the front seats, so you have to pretzel twist around to pick up and place your phone down instead of *gasp* plugging it in and dropping it in the console. Not really a benefit. The Camaro interior is nice, but the mustang offers 99% of everything you listed. I think they're about equal, with the difference being preference on ergonomics. But then again, it should be nicer for over 10k more. I got my 15 Premium PP GT with everything but nav new for 34k. I couldn't get a chevy dealer to budge under 46k for a no option 2SS. I think somehow i'll live without my car having a data plan (lmao) and wireless charging for 12 thousand dollars less.

Both are nice. The Camaro just won top 10 interiors for this year. I think the Camaro has a much nicer rear-view mirror/hud/gauges and center stack.

I like the Mustang layout better minus the outdated parking brake/center stack. Dodge/Chevy both ditched them and they take up lots of space.

The floating screen I don't get...the A4 has it now and it doesn't retract. I guarantee this will lead to morons trying to break into your car because they think it's an iPad mini sitting there on a stand.

Yeah except Mustangs don't have a forward collision prevention system, or a lane change prevention system that will also vibrate your seat. Or a heads up display or an 8 inch HD screen in the dash that is programmable. Much more programming in the drive mode selectors, to include exhaust note, electronic parking brake, rev matching paddle shifters, heated steering, mag ride, yes wireless charging is important to us, my wife's phone supports it and less chords in the cabin makes her happy for her new car.

Point is, there isn't 80 buttons needed to accomplish that. I mean seriously, a whole Numeric phone key pad? It a wave of plastic buttons that break off eventually.

I'm in Houston and wouldn't mind the heated steering wheel during the winter. But I hate cold weather.

Also lol @ making fun of wireless charging and people too lazy to plug their phone in. I agree as well that it's a gimmick and not well implemented yet. Maybe one day but right now I wouldn't consider it a plus either. But then again I'm an iPhone guy.

I like the idea of wifi on a trip. Especially if I'm in the middle of nowhere and need to make a call or looking up something to figure out where I'm going. I know what you're trying to say about the price difference though.

I have a collision prevention system in my base model Versa. It's called paying attention to the f*****g road...

Camaros do not vibrate the seat, nor does it have forward collision alert.
