Can you imagine some old man trying to use that set up? My dad still can't program his VCR. He'd have sold that monstrosity by the end of the week out of sheer frustration.... On the up side you'd have lots to play with as a passenger on a long trip....

Oh I forgot, you are right cadillac is an exemption, and I think lincoln has decent looking/feeling interiors as they are the higher brands. I guess I should be more specific, i meant like chevrolet and ford. Camaro for example, I am pretty sure the dash is made from the same material used in the tupperware in my fridge.

But you are right, I was just meaning like for the same price range, the z, the g, honestly even alot of mazdas have better quality then the american cars. ( and for the record I REALLY hope to own a cts v soon)

I was thinking navigator, as they are pretty nice inside I would say. Never sat in one, but looked pretty nice. I am just surprised with all the normal priced cars like the z for instance, chevrolet would step up their game and see that for a good price you can get a quality interior.

My dream car is still an Escalade EXT and it will be my next car. Built the way I want it, it'll be around 65-70k, which is about where I want to spend for my next anyways. So it'll either be that, or something like a BMW M class. I didn't want either now, because at 26...I don't want to feel like an old man yet.

I've owned/driven 6 cars. I still own all the imports, and the domestic ones are in a junk yard somewhere. Cadillac or Buick will be the only domestic car I own from now on.

I really like my Lincoln MKX and the value for the money was right on. Not to mention it was made right here in Canada. Well, Ontario, if you can call that part of Canada still. As for the Nissan 370Z I just ordered, well, I like to think I am helping the global economy too!!

Well, one of the reasons the interiors in the same price range no way compete goes back to that little sticker on her vehicle that read "UAW"

No I am not kidding, their are mazdas that are good, but take a look at a basic cx7 i think it is, the suv. That I have to say is a pretty crappy interior, maybe worse then the camaros. The rx8 and 3 and 6 models seem pretty nice though.

Now that (your car) is an awesome car. I didn't want to sound stereotypical, but the woman grabbed her cell phone and was yelling at her kids who were bouncing all over inside the truck before she gave me a dirty look and turned into Walmart. Me? I was laughing too hard to say anything.
