Not to pick on you, but what is the relevance of comparing the trim pieces of a sedan with a performance car? Try a comparison of similar performance vehicles, then look at the price. If you want to pay more for nicer plastic ash trays go for it.

Look. I drove a new Corvette, and it had a ton of rattles. It also had a vibration that felt like the driveshaft was hitting the trans tunnel.

A lot of relevance in my comparison. Why does a $17k Gplf/Rabbit have a better interior than a so called "Halo Vehicle" costing $50k?

And Nick. You can win this one by saying one thing. Either we loan them the money up front, or we pay via increased hits to social services(Welfare, Medicare, etc.). I would not be able to successfully defend my resistance to those circumstances.

But in the end, it all sucks. And where will these "bailouts" stop. Seems like every self made "Capitalist" is now crying for government money. But then, weren't those the same people who purported their interest in smaller government? At the least, a bunch of these executives need to be punished severely for being asleep at the wheel.

Chris,

Have you been in a Cayman or Boxster? The interior is poor at best for a car that costs $50K+ The interior is only nice if you upgrade it to full leather. And for squeeks and rattles check out the complaints on www.CaymanClub.net.
