Nice car for the money - too bad it's a wuss-a-matic.

Too much junk in that trunk, but otherwise I like it.

Tossing that would be the first order of business when I brought it home.

The exterior is still gorgeous, but the interior serves to remind us how far GM interiors have come since.

well, it's um...

functional?

I personally like this generation of F body, while a number of my friends think it was a "wussie" Camaro, people who get all googly eyed over a 3rd gen though, the worst looking generation IMO

I like it at $15,000, but not if the price gets near $20k or higher. It is in great condition, but it is a 10 year old car, and Once you get above $20k, you could get a 1-2 year old Camaro or Mustang

What I don't get is:

Toyota puts out an interior like this in a new FJ Cruiser people are all: Rugged! Sporty!

GM has an interior like this in a 10 year old sports car they're all: Hard plastic! Panel gaps!

What I was thinking is... imagine if Pontiac were not murdered by the corporation, what a Trans Am interior would look like for the 2012 model year...

[wildmanjoe]

Wasn't calling out you in particular, though I imagine the interior would look something like this:

I liked that interior just fine...
