What did you do, take some shots before the dealer prepped and inspected it? Looks like the factory wappers are still on some of the interior parts.

If it's not a Toyota you just have to jab. The same could have been said about the IS200/300/Altezza.

Anyway, way to go biggie! Can't wait to hear more about them. Awesome.

nope, z06 is such an awesome car... people just should not post interior pics at all. does interior look like it should look on such an awesome car such as z06? And I dont agree it looks like on Altezza, it was much fancier there... It looks as bad as in my MR2 (for the priceclass). just today, me and my friends were commenting over cup of coffee how nice new vette is (there is one previous gen in my city and just passed by).

but who cares about interior in such car, eh?

Hmm - I like the interior! Yes, the materials aren't top notch, but then I don't think Porsche interiors up until the 997 have been so hot either. The first gen Boxster interior looked like a Kia's except no glove box.

Well, interior matters a fair bit to me cuz that's what I see when I drive.

I actually agree with spwolf here, I think the interior, although as modern as can be, with a better grade of plastics, is STILL inferior for a car of this caliber!

The IS200/IS300/Altezza maybe to some, had a poor design, but their grade of plastics were very nice.

Perilli used this slogan: Power is nothing without control. I would like to amend a little to: Power is nothing without quality! Why? Because "we" are demanding better quality!

yeah, you are right, Porsche interiors are not specifically hot either... but brands such as Porsche get a lot of leeway when it comes to pretty much everything. Exotics are even worse, I was watching on german car tv show review of Maserati Q, and fit and finish of beautiful interior was really poor. They found few spots on the seats and the dash where leather was not "tucked in", you could see seat and dash materials :-). Still beautiful though.

I never liked how in sports/y cars, interior is never given more than a second thought. That goes for Toyota's as well. Saving few hundred bucks in interior and few hundred hours of design time is really limited thinking.

They are improving though, just not as nice as rest of the cars....

Agreed. I did go in a Ferrari 360 Modena once though and I liked that interior.
