Mr. Space, that is the chevy nomad concept interior.

To answer your question, yes I am happy with my monte's interior. I also think for the most part chevy does a good job on their interiors. I am a big fan of the GM truck interiors. Im not much of a fan of the newer GM passenger carinteriors, tho the malibu and the G8 seem to be real nice.

Like you, I am not a big fan of the new camaro interior. Its too retro for me, doesnt remind me of the old camaro interior at all. Looks like something that would be in a crappy Honda hybrid concept or something.

RE: Chevy Dash/Interiors ?
 
I saw a G8 at a Pontiac dealership a couple weeks ago. Very nice interior. I liked it.

Although some people may consider the interior styling of the 2000-2005 Montes to be a little dated, I like it overall.
Of course there are some slight issues that I have with it. Like how everything inside the car is the exact same color. In my car, everything is black.
I like black, but I would like it more if a few things were a different color. Like an accent color. I've been tempted to paint a few dash pieces a different color, but it's very easy to go overboard. And I made that mistake in a previous car.

Started out with just a couple things, and went crazy painting the interior. Looked like poop when I finished. I used the brush in the touch up paint tube to paint a couple things. You could tell from a mile away. Brush marks everywhere. There was one piece of the dash that I thought would look good painted red, so I started painting it. With the affore mentioned paint tube brush (I was 18 and stupid, live and learn). It looked worse and worse the more I painted it, so I stopped part way done and never finished it. Because of the rough surface of the piece, I couldn't get the paint off. And because I was in school, I didn't have the money (or know how either) to buy and install a replacement dash panel. I had to live with it until I got rid of the car.

You can relax, it wasn't a great performance car or an expensive stylish car. It was a 1985 Cavalier hatchback. Basic transportation, but it was my basic transportation. And I made my dash look embarassingly stupid. Like I said, live and learn. Won't make that mistake again.

So getting back on topic, yes, I like the dash in my Monte. :D

Only thing I don't like is the plastic dash piece around the radio and front of the dash. I pulled it off the other day and it was cracked where the screw hole was on the drivers side. Other than that love it.

The clock on my dash reads 7:17 and it is dark outside. Is it a.m. or p.m. ? LOL. :D

I like the dash in my '86 LS Monte. It's nice, functional, yet still simple.
The dash inmy g/f Deb's '81 SC Monte is bascially the same, yet different. Cort can attest to this. Owning several Montes himself.
The dash in the '03 Pace car is very nice. As is the dash in my '06 LTZMonte. They both have things I like & dislike about them. If it were possible to combine the like things about bothdashes in to one dash I think I'd be very happy.

Here we have a dash I'm very fond of.

You know, it’s funny how timing in life works. Here I am thinking about painting my dashboard instrument shroud to match body colour and we have a thread going about monte carlo dashes. At the same, I have recently fallen head-over-heels in love with the G8 GT and have been labouring over trading my beloved Monte carlo for it.

I haved like chevy interiors for the most part. The new Malibu and Silverado are among my favourites. I like the G8 interior as well. I like it's understatement, especially for a Pontiac. Their interiors have been pretty funky for the past few years.

Hi `Jenna,
You know your cars 4-Sure.
Congratulations, you win a years membership to the

Thanks for playing/posting & sharing your knowledge.

Rolls-Royce Phantom
Starting at $340,000 WoW :D
Perhaps no brand name connotes luxury as Rolls Royce. Far from often unreliable vehicles of the past, the Phantom is a world-class luxury sedan that combines style, luxury and searing sport in one elegant package. Did you ever imagine that you'd see a Rolls Royce go from 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, powered by a V12 that produces 453 hp? With 75% of its 531 lb-ft of torque available at just 1,000 rpm, the Phantom blisters the road in style.

the dash in the 06 are nice but at times i think that there is almost to much black. i wanna put some silver down by the shifter and on my door panels.
i absolutley love the g8. downfalls of it the interior actually just feels cheap. we had one in the shop for a new rear bumper and i had to drive it a bit everything jsut felt wierd in it. i must say that the g8 is one of the quietest 6.0 i have ever heard. and the g8 dash that you have a pic of isnt available yet. it will be soon. the first shipment of them only came automatic. soon will be manual and have the option of the 6.2. which if they use a good trans it would be easy to pla with and get to the ls9 specs with the supercharger and all. has alot of potential to be fun
