I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the concept... I thought the interior was the weakest part of the whole package.

But now I'm starting to think, that could ultimately be the thing that draws me to this car... because it's timeless.

It's different to that of modern day cars, which tend to age extremely quickly... probably because today's cars lack a lot of heart and soul.

 

Mmmmm...maybe.

But I've never heard anyone wax nostalgic over the 1st gen's interior. And when you see those cars go for megabucks at the big auctions, the focus is always on the exterior. When was the last time you saw a car calendar featuring an old interior? Never, I bet.

When a cherry 1st gen. drives by or you see it in a car show do you drool over the interior? If so you're in the minority and maybe a little weird.

The appeal of the 1st gens was alway their exterior looks, never the interior. I think it's a mistake to go back to that. I like my gauges all in one display, the more modern the better. An ultra modern inside, including Nav and HUD, mated with that beautiful retro homage exterior would be the perfect match of new and classic.

I'm hoping by the third year or so GM will realize this and modernize the interior, esp. the gauges.

 

Strange, because I have the exact opposite view. I think this interior is going to get old, REAL fast. I'd like to see what direction Ford takes the Mustang refresh in.

I do think the ambient LED lighting is a neat touch though.

 

Ya know what else, I think... call me stoopid but I really woudn't care if the interior had one speed dial and basic heater. I love the exterior too much to let the interior override my lasting impressions.

 

I guess I am a little weird. I loved the interior in my '68. (I really dislike the interior for '69) Interiors may not get the press when compared to the sheet metal or engine, but they are still an important part of what make a car a classic.

I don't see why the 5th gens interior is any less ergonomic than any other car (barring the center console gauges, but thats another debate) Everything is in the same place as it is in any other car. Just because its housed in a 'retro' space doesn't make it work any differently. The interior looks comfortable and well porportioned to me. (and it is according to those who have sat in the real thing)

 

Still retro and crappy/boring. There were spy pics a little while back.
