Post Question about GTO interior

Ok, so some of you guys have ridden in Manaro's in Aussie land and said the interior is BMW tight.

But my big fear is that in order to get the steering wheel on the left side of the car, they're gonna rip all that BMW quality stuff out, throw it on the ground and install some nice, loose, toy quality plastic we've all come to know and love in our Camaro's. After all, they have to keep production costs down right?

How's that gonna work?

Simply make a mirror image of current panels. To develop new "cheap" plastic would cost them money, tons of it. And they want to spend as little money on this car as possible.

So expect the same interior, just mirrored.

The Holden V-Car line is made in both left & right hand drive versions, so it's a non issue.

IMO, it will be a nice car, I just hope they do more/diffeent things with the ext. looks and make it all they possibly can for what that have to work with and the time they have to do it in.
