I consider this just to be more UAW built JUNK from a company that is about to be bankrupt because all than make is crap. I bought my BMW because it was built so much better than any car that either Ford, GM, or Chylser aks UAW could offer.
That is until your HPFP fails and you come back here posting how shit the car is... Seriously guys GMs products have been getting better, its just a shame they cut out the performance division.

His post seems more Anti-UAW then anti-GM.

Anyway, I don't think BMW owners have much leeway when it comes to the quality of interiors. As BMW is not exactly known for their interiors in the luxury market.

It feels like it was built better to start with, but it's probably more prone to breaking and failure than GMs and Fords. I mean, I love my E38, a car I consider one of the best luxury/sport sedans of the last 20 years. but the depreciation makes domestics look good, and while this particular example been extremely reliable FOR an E38, in general these cars are vastly less reliable than any of the domestics I've ever owned.

Probably feel the pea beneath 10 matresses, too, doncha?



Again, the styling is an amalgam of the '60s camaros with modern detaling. Those scoops (like the grille and roofline) are cribbed from the '69:




Of course, the interior is cribbed from the originals, too, with the gauge cluster ahead of the shifter:




Only two cars on the market right now have a true retro interior, the Mustang and this. And the interiors fit the mission and the genre perfectly.
Calm down dude, just my opinion. The cavalier comment was not about the design, but more referring the the feel and the materials. It looks much better in pictures, and leather would've probably helped too, but sitting in that thing was extremely dissapointing... This is coming from someone who has owned two Camaro's in his day.

BINGO
I think the interior of my M Coupe is cheap, but I bought it for the power, handling and looks. Interior plastic didn't change how I felt about the car. Cool styling, 400+ Hp, LSD & Brembos for well under $35K Looks like a winner to me. And it's a much petter deal than either of the other pony cars.
