Isn't the interior if the '07 vette the same as the interior of an '89 Grand Am?

The interior in our old Benz was nowhere near as nice as the G.
Even the E350 4Matic that we were looking at didn't have as nice of an interior as the G!

Actually a lot of their new cars have some of the best interiors over the past 2 years. They have really been working hard upgrading the interiors. The C6 vette had its interior ranked really good by some reviews.

The C6 Vette's interior isn't exactly a thing of beauty, but believe me when I say it's MIIIIILES better than the interior GM threw together for the C5 which itself was MIIIIILES better than the crap in the C4.
As for these stupid awards, WTF? The Saturn Aura does have a very nice interior I'll give them that. Those Opel/Vauxhall guys sure know what they're doing. Same thing with the Silverado. The optional "premium interior" or whatever it's called puts the Tundra's interior to shame. And as for the S80, I've always liked Volvo's floating center console.
But the CR-V, SRX and Lincoln Navigator??? I mean WTF? The Navigator's retro gauge cluster looks like complete crap IMO. The Escalade's new interior puts it to shame. And the SRX? Oh man, I'm not sure if GM has updated the interior of the SRX since its debut a few years ago, but after being behind the wheel of an '04 I can definitely tell you that it's nothing special. I mean the console creaked when I used the manumatic shifter for crying out loud.
