Nicer interior also adds a lot of weight which isn't good for performance cars. That would shift a sports car towards a Grand Tourer.
IMO GM is getting better, especially if you look at the Corvette. C7 is a huge step-up compared to C6. As for the Camaro, again, the interior of its direct competitors are just as rough, but that's also how you can get a V8 sports car for so cheap while if you spend the money on good interior, you only gets some turbocharged 4-cylinder engines.

Well if you spend $75,000 on a Camaro you deserve more than the interior that comes in a $30,000 Camaro. Don’t equate an expensive interior with a performance degradation. We’re talking a few pounds at the most.
I agree on the C8. I haven’t been inside one yet but looks are encouraging with the exception of the single row of buttons.
But go look at the CT4 and 5. Nothing at all special in the inside. Nice, yes but anyone in the industry doing benchmarking on the new Cadillacs isn’t losing sleep.
