I've been saying that for years. Go out and buy a freaking Jetta and see what materials they use. I mean, c'mon if the Germans can do it can't we? Heck, step it up a notch and study an Audi A4. Audi, IMO, makes the best interiors of any car out on the market today. And it's not like they do anything truly special. But, they took the time to see what their consumers wanted. They place the controls in logical spots on the dash. They don't use the cheaper plastics. Yes, it's still plastic in places, but it's a soft touch plastic. When they say it's a wood trim, it's REAL wood. Not "woodesque" trim. In defense of GM at least, the new Malibu is a step in the right direction. However, it's a case of too little too late.

And you are so on point with the Corvette. Here's their halo car and they use the same parts from a cobalt on the interior. What are they thinking? And if you check the panels for tolerences, you'll see huge gaps all over. It's like they just have no pride in their craftsmanship. I just don't get it???

We have an 06 A4Q and a 03 GTI. If your comparing apples to apples then you need to compare our A4 to a Cadillac CTS which one of my friends have. His interior is of high grade comparable to our Audi and better then my GTI. So does that mean my GTI is crap?
