That's the same interior as the Charger and 300. I've rented these and the interior would be a major reason not to get the car. That steering wheel is one of the worst I have ever laid hands on. I, too, was waiting on this car. However, someone totaled my last ride before the Challenger came out. I now have my e60 and am quite satisfied.

I love this car...then I saw the interior. 
What a let down!
The inside definitely looks like some 300 and Charger rentals that I have had the "pleasure"
of driving when I've been away on business or on vacation. :thumbsdown:

Ladies, it's a muscle car.
Oh, and the myGig radio/NAV is much, much better than anything in the I-drive world.
The interior is a far cry from perfect, but its in a 420hp 40-grand car. What can you buy with 420hp for 40-grand that has a nicer interior?

You could get a new Camaro, which has a much "sportier" retro interior that does not look like a minivan, and which actually has a three spoke steering wheel.

Well, I guess you could except you can't. The new Camaro isn't available yet. Talk is it will be 400hp and in the $40k range. So aside from not being available, I'm not sure it would have more hp or be less money either. I do hope it will be a great car.
I sold my BMW and bought a Jeep SRT-8. The Jeep's interior isn't anything incredible, but I never thought a $40k Jeep would have an interior comparable to a $60 E60. If it did there'd be a line out the door for Chrysler products. Obviously I still like BMWs as I still lurk around here... we'll probably replace the Jeep with a 535xi wagon at some point.
I just don't get bashing a muscle car for having a muscle car interior... the original Road Runners were basically 2-door taxis with a large helping of horsepower. It's not for everybody but it is what it is.

By the way - the SRT-8 you have now is a monster. I don't think many people realize just how fast that thing is (and also how well it handles).
