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.

One of our European operatives caught this full stable of high- performance Holden test cars--including the new Camaro--between Denmark and Sweden, en route to the frigid arctic circle testing grounds. The encounter provided the best, most detailed look at the Camaro, including the first shots of the car's interior.
As with the exterior, the production Camaro's interior will remain
true to the concept in its overall look and feel. The largest change
between the concept and production versions is found on this
prototype's center stack, which has an attractive stereo interface
that was missing on the show car. The four small analog gages still
reside in front of the gear shift lever, and the old-school
instrumentation pods have survived the productionizing process largely
unscathed. A band of color-keyed trim runs along the dash face, and
flares out into the door panels, providing some welcome character and
further linking the production Camaro with the concept that has been
only teasing us for far too long now.

Our close-up look reveals that these Camaro prototypes were outfitted
with 20-inch wheels, and were shod with 245/45 ZR20 Pirello P Zero
tires.

Absolutely hate it. Won't even think about owning one because I simply HATE that interior. Go modern like the vette.

[bluefields88]

that is so fucking fugly. kinda ruined the car for me. :/

[hamburger68]

i like it, but wouldn't say love it. really like the pods for speedo and rpms.

[camarojunky74]

i love it, looks amazing i love the dash , the gauges it looks awesome, anyone notice the rear brake caliper is on the rear of the car rather than the front on our cars, i wonder if this is cause of the irs?. anyways sick ass car

[Kamauxx]

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Interior looks like a Ford spaceship.

And gauges under the radio? Who the hell would want to look behind the shift knob to see the gauges?

[predator]

we all knew the guages would happen like that...

Looks kind of cheap. Hopefully the interior looks a little better than the pics.

[hutch1999]

idk if i like it or not I guess ill have to see one in person

[35thAnniZ28]

im guessing many people dislike the 09 camaros interior cuz were all so accustomed to the 4th gen fbods interior(except 86 iroc-Z)

[bluefields88]

I hate the gauge pods and the dash. it's so ugly! gahh

[35thAnniZ28]

your real upset about it arent you bluesfields

[35thAnniZ28]

they hsould definately think about adding a big brake option...little rotors and big wheels equals a big no no

[bluefields88]

yep, I'm pretty let down. I think the whole retro styling is on it's way out. the gauge pods look like little eyebrows or something. I like the outside, but darn, that dash is horrid. I wouldn't want one because of it. :/

[35thAnniZ28]

yeah true ... you prefer vette interior?

[bluefields88]

hell ya! I sat in a new Z06 at the LA Autoshow. My life changed. haha

[pinky93]

I guess we will see when it is released.....

Sometimes new isn't better, I know the 1994-1998 Z71 pickups are still my favorite Chevy truck of all time, they just got those right. I guess I am a hypocrite though, I own a 2007 Chevy truck and a 2002 Suburban...... hahaha

I do agree with the comments about the Z06 interior, those are stunning to say the least.

[t-rock]

im not diggin the pic of it ill have to see when they hit the lot as to wether or not im a fan of it or not. were the concepts different?

[BlackSS1]

I like most of it, but the humongous gauges over the steering wheel are too much... too retro
