I have to argue with you here...but the 300 and Magnum have what i would call unremarkable interiors ...at least visually. I can't stand the dumptruck steering wheel in them either.


While we are at it...many people do not seperate build quality from perceived quality. For instance, or Trailblazer interior could be material for a book on how to make an ugly interior....however build quality wise we have had no one issue with it ever....no creaks, ***** falling off or anything.

However no one would find that out if they don't buy the truck because the ugliness repulses them...

Talking Re: What GM vehicles are severly hurt by their interiors...

GM has some really crappy interiors in their trucks
All of the full size Chevy and GMC truck stink
All of the full size SUV's, especially the Escalade(its supposed to be luxurious for 60K, not share the same dash design as a 15K work truck with vinyl seats)

The Trailblazer interior looks horrendous, and the Envoy isn't much better.

The Impala interior is so lame I think the Tarsus one ups it.
The Boniville would sell much better if it didn't have that terrible, cheap and busy interior.
The CTS interior doesn't seem too cheap, its just oragami gone mad with plain black plastic.
All of the Buick interiors are really lame too.

Interiors by GM that stunning.
Cadillac XLR and STS
Pontiac GTO
C6 Corvette

I think GM just needs to up the budget they spend on interiors. When GM wants to spend the money on a nice interior, they are perfectly capable of making one, like the STS, XLR, Vette, or GTO. Or maybe have Holden design all of their interiors. That would be the best solution
