One area where Detroit seems to get bashed a lot is on the quality of their interiors. I constantly hear about their "cheap materials" and "poor finish." People complain about the interior quality of the 2005+ Mustang, and I'm already hearing whining about the 2009 Camaro (hey, people, the car isn't even out yet!). Yeah, in theory, I agree that Detroit should be able to build a $25k pony car with an interior on par with a $17k Jetta or Civic. But personally, I really don't care too much about interior aesthetics or finish. In fact, I kind of like cheap, junky interiors. I figure if Detroit spent less on the interior, it's reflected to some degree in the MSRP. Hey, I like vinyl seats and roll up windows--I wish they were still on the option list. Perhaps my favorite interior ever is the stark taxi cab-like interior in 1968-69 Road Runners like the one below. At the end of the day I just want the wheel, shifter, pedals and gauges to be in the right place. But I don't get all worked up if the turn signal stalk feels cheesy or the radio and climate controls aren't Feng Shui. What do you guys think? Am I alone on this one?
