i just dont see how someone driving a stang can critisize a corvette. especially saying how cheaply built it was. ok pal your mustang is probably worth 20k less than an average c5 who's interior do you think is cheap? **** ford guys....

also an interior can be a cheaper price, and still look nicer than a more expensive interior. The more expensive one can look "cheap" even though it cost more. its how its put together & styled.

yeah, and what's the price difference between the 2 again? The basic idea is that its interior is cheap looking for the price the car costs.

not to mention teh common complaint on the mustang has always been interior (even ford magazines hated that interior) but yes the vette interior is decent, just not for the money gm has had issues with fit and finish on most of their interiors for years
