The RS package makes a difference.
My biggest hangup in 2009 was the HUGE space on the passenger side. Just a big blank piece of hard elephant skin plastic.

It seemed this was an inexpensive car. I can tell the designers were in a big hurry and had no budget as they wanted the 3.6 Direct Injection into the model at min price. Yea, I get it. Its a muscle car. But can you give the designers a bigger budget than $12?
Other points less important:
- non-leather Seats are uber bland.
- Hard, bland, blank, huge, simple, one piece hard plastics. gray and black. Everywhere. Nothing is soft to touch except for the doors.
- Uneven gaps. Check on the dash at the door.

The RS model made me like it. The interior lighting at night is fabulous.
They did make good tweaks for 2012, especially with the passenger side with getting rid of the hump and making it out of softer plastic.
From listening to Bob Lutz, the interior was probably cheap due to the MBA hires he disliked.
