You're not reading between the lines when reading criticisms about our interiors. With interiors, the devil is in the details. The Porsche/Germans follow Bauhaus design methodology, but the materials/finish make it look nice. GM/Ford (used to) look like they were designed by "fat men from Kentucky" (to quote Jeremy Clarkson).

For example, that matte silver painted plastic that's copiously used by our class of cars - I mean who are they fooling with that sh!t? It clearly looks like painted plastic. No point faking something when it doesn't look like the real thing.

Take the ZL1 interior for instance: looks almost the same as the cheaper Camaros, but by simply using better materials (alcantera etc.), the interior looks more luxurious.

What's the difference between a $400 couch, and a $4000 couch? Ans: the $4000 couch looks simple and is made from leather, the $400 couch is made from polyster and has gaudy flair.
