To me, it's the little things that can make an interior look better. The texture of the plastic panels that GM, Ford and Dodge, the size of the shift knobs, the flat and boring dash layout, the high center console, the vents, the 80's looking LED dash display and color all make it look that much more cheap looking.

IMO, the interior of the CTS is moving in the right direction and I hope GM can port some of that style into their future Chevy models w/out substantially increasing the price.
The 2013 Ford lineup has some great interiors. My father just bought a 2013 Taurus SHO, and it's got a rockin' interior. Long story short, the reason why American sports cars are so cheap in comparison to their European counterparts is because of the lackluster interiors.

Not necessarily...
