this is a first year base car folks...how many times did they make "little improvements" to the C6 during its life cycle?

The interior material quality is much improved IMO. However, like the C6 interior which was praised at launch, I am sure that once the newness of the C7 interior runs its course, the boo birds will once again find fault in it (its already starting). At this point, it's almost a no win situation for team corvette.

I've concluded that people simply want an interior reminiscent of $200,000 car in the base $55,000 corvette. Go spend some money on a Bentley.

Who is bashing the interior? I saw when the SRT Viper game out people were drooling over the GTS interior...when the reviews came out they said it was the cheapest you can find in a 100k car....lame

Caravaggio will fix that for another 20k. No need to buy the bentley.

What review did you read that said that? The interior is by the same company that ferrari uses. The only thing the mags complained about with the interior is that it is extremely small and the seats are rock hard. The seat problem was fixed for the production cars and as far as a cramped interior, that has nothing to do with the quality of the materials.

Change the price to 55,100 for the base and kill the cheap black plastic.
