And what I've been saying is that many non-domestic companies use very nice plastics that are durable and slightly soft to the touch with a rich feeling texture. That is what I'm looking for. I'm just saying every plastic surface in my Cobalt is rock hard and has the texture of a dog's nose. It is probably my least favorite aspect of an otherwise very nice car.
Wow! I didn't think that I was going to stir up this much discussion. stovt001, we are thinking on the same lines. I have two Mazdas and I think that the interiors in them are great. I have owned 2 BMWs previously and they have great interior qualities, granted you pay for them, but for the price, the Mazda6 and the CX-9 that I own have great interiors without feeling cheap.

The Mazda6 is not a luxury car but it has great feeling buttons, leather and plastics. I drove a Dodge Charger and I hated the plastics in that car and it turned me off. That and the slit of a window they call a windshield. Horrible visibility. This is the other reason that I would have never bought a Pontiac. All of the buttons and plastics felt like they came from Fisher-Price. Once they started sourcing the cars from Holden, then the interiors started to appeal to me. Much better quality than previous cars. Can't wait to get a look at the G8

If the interior of the Camaro is the quality of the Malibu, then I am all over it. I love the looks of the exterior of the Camaro and the interior of the concept (which I wish we could get as presented) looks great too, I just hope they don't screw it up. I would love to get one and customize it. And if they do mess with the interior, I may be forced to fully customize the interior as well.
