Interesting write up, but the interior is definitely NOT from 1984! I rather like the layout and it's a lot more comfortable on long trips than my Tahoe LT.

I really think that a lot of "local" reviews are biased by what the author has seen in the national magazines. However from what I have read and now know first hand, the quality and workmanship is not being bashed, it is the lack of support that the seats provide in spriited driving that comes in question. As you can see in the picture below, the interior looks great and is perfectly suited for the price point. It is light years ahead of the current Camaro or Shelby interior IMHO. The seats however provide nearly zero lateral support and do not match the cars performance capabilities at all. I did not realize that I would need a CG lock for daily driving?
