That's the problem with most domestic cars. They cheap out on the interior or rely too much on plastic.
I have a Land Rover LR3 and I have to say it's the oddest setup I've ever seen. The door handles have weak plastic on them. Cheaper than I've seen in any American car, yet the rest of the car is leather. I will say this, I like the car, but won't ever buy another.
Also, I used to have a MB CLK350. By far the most fun car to drive that I've ever owned. Everything was leather, but the car was a piece of crap. Always something wrong with it. The leather housing around the gear shift wouldn't stay together. The car's engine would whine that I wanted to take a sledge hammer to it and the idiot oil changes were $350+ freaking dollars.
Take all the "it's a piece of ****" out of the way and I loved the car. I could do a U-Turn at 35mph! :laugh2:
By far the best luxury cars I've ever owned were BMWs. (3 series, 5 series, and X5) If I don't move to Manhattan before I get rid of the LR3, I will go back to BMW or buy American.
