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.

Call me uncultured or whatever but I just don't get it....

Indeed. Maybe I'm just the rarest of creatures - an easy-to-please female - but I'm thinking...is there a speedometer? Fuel gauge? The seats don't hurt my back and there's a cd player...so as far as the interior goes - it's good in my book. I wanted leather, and having a battery volt gauge is great, but that was about it. Why expect a luxury-car interior from a pony car? The extra cost wouldn't be worth it IMO. I've never sat in a car and thought, "Wow, what a nice interior!" - not even in my parent's Cadillac. I'm concerned with performance, exterior looks, sound and the intangible "feel" of the car. But I'm watching the road or admiring it from the outside, not looking around the interior. Oh, and at 5'4", having to slouch to avoid scraping my head has never been a problem.
