Japanese interiors aren't the best either--compare a G35 to an A4, or even an IS300 to A4/BMW. But the C6 interior still looks early 90s, back when everything looking plastic was the norm--Japanese are less behind and are in the late-nineties.

Back on topic, C6's interior is definnitely not 40k luxury-level quality. Performance is 100k level though, so it balances out.

They redid the interior for the c5 and c6, now it looks a lot better. Your fanboyism doesn't let you look at the fact that the Corvette is an awesome car for the money. Who the hell cares about the interior when you are pulling past cars on the track that cost 2-3x more then the corvette?

Corvette just pulls an 11 sec run against a modified luxo car which pulls an 11.5:

Luxo: I may not be able to outrun you in anyway, I may not be as reliable as you either, BUT at least I have the better interior!

Gee, maybe you should learn to read (oh wait, this is forums, that's asking for too much), I said the car's still a great car for the money. Oh well. Idiocy.

And yes, since the majority of the time spent with the car is in the interior, the inside is a big deal. You don't drive the car tied to the hood outside staring at the contours.

You've obviously never driven a Corvette have you? That **** puts a smile on your face. I could be sitting on a bucket in the car, and as long as I was well harnessed, I wouldn't mind. The interior really doesn't matter if the car is well worth it. I see you didn't bring up the **** interior of the NSX. I wonder why?

I, for one, am still impressed with that tach on the windshield the new vettes have. Makes you think you're in a jet or something

Hot. Anyone know if you can safely drive a Corvette in a Minnesota winter? Damn snow and ice. If it wasn't for that, I would definately be interesting in buying one.

If you are experienced in handling RWD cars, and have snow tires on, sure.

Uhh, because this is a topic about the C6 and not the NSX? I already did say Japanese interiors are behind the likes of BMW and Audi. Dangit, read the post before you snap back a vacuous reply.

Again, the c6 is performance, not interior quality. Who the hell cares about the interior when your face is being pounded by g forces?
