Average joes cant afford a 100k car.
Adding more crap will increase the weight? Perhaps marginally, not enough to affect performance. Look at a GT3 RS, Nice interior, nice materials, weight savings too. Its more than possible to do.
I'm sure the people that complained didnt buy the car. But maybe they wouldve had it had a better interior.
Upwards of 30k? I dont mean an aston martin interior here, I mean something at least as good as a Golf GTI. Because as of right now, its far from it.

It's simple. People who are that concerned about the interior fall into two basic categories:
Group A - those who love Corvettes enough to either live with it or upgrade it themselves
Group B - people who don't really like Corvettes and enjoy ragging on "inferior American products"
The number of people who would ultimately be swayed by fancy sounding selling points like "Alcantara" or "hand (slave? jk) stitched" are few and far between. Besides, new Vettes offer an interior package that uses the same materials found in Maybachs, no? I don't see people making comments about the quality of their materials.
Here's a Motor Trend quote . . .
"Practically every surface you see or touch is swathed in supple leather, handstitched by the nice folks at Draexlmaier-the same ones treating the hides in Maybach, Mercedes, and up-level Cadillac cockpits."
As for "hard plastics" . . . I've yet to be impressed by a "soft plastic" so i really don't care.
