The interior of my 07 Coupe looks just as good to me as the interior of my wife's RX330.

. Are the materials used in the interior of the C6 up to the level of the materials in my M3? No. But that's not stopping me from buying one. To quote goatts again, the stuff that counts is done right.

Well I think its a big step up from the C5...

Also i think the interior is nice even for 50k. I have no complaints.

I am very pleased with the interior of our Vette. I will probably have DS Vettes make a leather padded console lid for additional comfort on long trips but that is about it. To me it is tasteful and well executed, especially the gauges!

Thing was fixed from the start. Plus, that little girly-man they had doing the review just plain pissed me off!

I was getting out of my other vehicle (a minivan) and my wife asked me if I knew what I was doing? I said "what?" Then I realized that I had left the van running with the keys in the ignition. I have gotten so spoiled by the keyless entry that I forgot to turn the van off. I love that "gimmick" and you are correct, it costs extra on the BMW's. but its standard on the c6

Yeah the BMW 335i coupe I looked at had keyless ignition but they charged something like $100 for what they call "comfort access" to get inside the car while having a fob in your pocket. They should call it BOHICA access.
