2009 Camaro First Interior Shots
http://jalopnik.com/339979/2009-chev...interior-shots
The spy shooters of KGP have snagged us one heckuva get -- these are the best shots to date of the 2009 Chevy Camaro caught on a car trailer -- including the very first interior shots we've yet seen. We'll have all the shots up in a moment, but we've got the full spy report below the jump. UPDATE: All the photos added below. Looks like the interior's remaining true to the concept interior and one thing's for sure about the exterior -- it's certainly got big tires and as we saw earlier -- a B-pillar. And these pictures show us a much more clear look at the deisgn integration than the first Camaro spy photos we shared with you last month -- or better than the sneaky Camaro camera-phone shot.
UPDATE #2: Apparently we got Bob Lutz so upset by posting these spy photos he's decided "to heck with it" and he's pulling the covers off all of the Chevy Camaro testers. Who knew we could have such an impact?

here's what they were trying to reproduce from the concept Camaro
Here's the spy photo from that article thats in testing right now...
I think they got close. Always happens when you have to productionalize. Im pretty sure most people don't like the way this looks so far. I'm okay with it... I guess we'll have to wait until the final version to see how it turns out.

One other update from that spy photo site

Maximum Bob Lutz Hates Spy Photographers, Orders all Camaro Test Vehicles to Drop Trou
Looks like Bob Lutz, main product man for the General, has decided he's sick and tired of the spy photographer rat race on the new 2009 Chevy Camaro. So, rather than play the war of escalation with the shutterbugs, he's ordered Ed "I Live To Serve" Peper to remove all cladding from the new Chevy muscle car while it continues testing in Australia and the US mere hours after the latest batch of shots made their way onto the 'net. Who knew our little site could make such an impact? To further make the point clear, Peper's dropped a very tiny picture of the rear end of the mullet-mobile running round a test track. Ed, thanks, but we'll stick to the clear-as-day spy shots we were showing off earlier. But hey, Bob -- I think you should maybe watch out that Brenda Priddy doesn't take a swing at you in Detroit.

Keep in mind its a year from production. why have a final interior when you are still testing aerodynamics, powertrains, etc?
The overall shapes are very close to the concept. I bet it gets more colorful and cleaned up a whole lot. Looking forward to it, curently at the top of my list as next car. Looks, price and power should all be good, the only unknown will be handling although reviews of the Commodore/G8 have been good and this is basically a smaller version of that.

typical GM crap interior. Reminds me very much of my AC Delco '89 Sunbird centre stack. But the exterior is nice though. Now if only it would transform into a 2-storey tall robot....

I think the interior is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously, I could be wrong, but I see at least one piece at the top of the dash is completely missing, and there could be more changes.
I think the one part of the Camaro concept interior that everybody liked was that little gap between the center controls and the 4-gauge pod/shifter stack. That's one element that really gives it the 60's 70's retro feel that obviously won't make into the new car.
The speedo and tach gauges also look too high. they should be more integrated into the dash and look like theyre part of the steering column.

I wish American companies could design better interiors. My GF wants to buy one of these when they come out, hopefully the interior gets a few more changes before they release
