The interior may not be up to the euro-luxury standard, but it is still a Chevy. I am fine with the interior the way it is as long as it still performs like super cars that cost twice the price. Who buys a sports car and says "hey look at this corinthian leather, and the amazing hand stitched steering wheel"? We all buy a sports car for the fun of it. I would take a Corvette over an M3 any day of the week.

How many cars perform as well as a base Corvette for under 50k? How many super cars perform like the Z06 and cost under 100k? (yeah, yeah the GTR).

A Chevy Corvette is not about luxury and refinement, it is about pure performance. American car for the unrefined American.
Why buys a sports car with cheap plastic interior bits, a very dated heads up display and a flat dash. I would feel jaded spending that much on a car, especially a Chevy because it'll feel like I'm driving a rental.

Who says it can't have nice interior. TBH, this has always been the weak point with American cars; that lack of detail, especially in the interior where you spend most of your time when driving.
