Camaro/Mustang/Challenger aren't designed to compete with the luxury names of the word in both interior material quality, and performance, nor should they ever be.

what you're forgetting though, is that the performance chops don't sell ther Camaro.
Ford put out ther BOSS mustang to have a big performance model (that wasn't a Shelby) and where'd it go? It didn't stick strong because performance eas not ther buyers' main priority.
Yet here GM is trying to put out a car that outperforms everything and is a better value than those "big names"
That's great for us, boy those buyers want their luxury and their usability too.
GM missed the market. We need more than just performance in a daily driver..... otherwise, we'd buy the Corvette
