Default Interior Upgrades

Could some of our supporters and suppliers please develope and market elbow pads for the door and console with color specific leather. I can not believe the lack of interior parts available for this car.

Meh. In my opinion, the interior doesn't need any "upgrades" YMMV

More fake drivel that people who don't like one aspect of a car they've never driven put out there.

No announcement. Just rumors. GM is unlikely to spend the hundreds of millions of dollars it would cost to design and manufacture new interior components when their focus is on performance variants and electric cars.

Sadly, this kind of drivel is what passes for news these days.

LOL - you fell for it as well. No such announcement was made and no such plans exist.

That article doesn't cite an announcement, it cites anonymous "sources." Just a blog site's attempt to get more clicks.
Just posting what I read. However isn't that the way most stories get leaked? (anonymous "sources.") If we relied on any new info to come from GM's mouth especially Tadge you wouldn't know anything about the cars until they hit the showrooms. Tadge only admits to rumors when his lies gets exposed to be the truth.

You need to evaluate the source of the rumor. Motor Trend has little credibility. They're the ones who said the Stingray made more than 550 HP at the rear wheels. And posted a render of a "plug in hybrid C8" and pretended it was a photo of the actual car being tested.

Had you posted "isn't it rumored that they're going to change the interior" no one would have said a thing. But a rumor is a long way from an "announcement" or fact.
