The interior is ... mediocre, to put it mildly. And cars like the R8 put the Corvettes interior to shame. But I'm pretty sure most of the complaints about the Corvettes interior come from non-owners. And I'd be willing to bet that this idea came from Corvette owners. So, GM could either do something that buyer would appreciate, or something that would cause critics to look elsewhere to complain.
