I know everybody talks about plastic this and plastic that, but the only car I've ever been in that the interior didn't boil down to "plastic" was my bosses $100k+ M6.
I consider the interior of my wife's malibu to be nice and stylish, but ultimately its plastic.
I honestly don't think you can expect much more from a car any average person can afford.
I sat in one of the new 2010 Stangs that so many people are raving about the interior and my response was "WTF is the big deal?" Its no different than any other "working man's car."
Call me uncultured or whatever but I just don't get it....  |
My first thought is that of my wife's Mini Cooper S...yeah it's plastic and all but the dash itself is a nice soft plastic...almost a leather feel to it. I remember a Cavalier (yes...I said Cavalier) I had that had a vinyl top dash as well as top door panels! The Camaro doesn't!
The center console could be a leather unit and the parking brake could be leather wrapped...much like the steering wheel and the shifter! Yet, it's plastic.
It just feels cheap to me...looks nice, like the design, don't even want or need a navi screen or anything like that...just want a more expensive feel to the interior...it can be done!
I like the gauges and the lighting...I don't like the cheap feel of the materials used is all...like the housing that the gauges are in...hard, hard, hard cheap looking and feeling plastic...almost toy like!
My thoughts...that all. It's a great car, I'd buy 10 if I had the money...butI would like a better "feeling" interior on a car I paid $35K for!
