The C5/C6 Corvettes have certainly taken knocks for interior. Personally, I disagree. I think its functional and everything works fine. I've been in many very high end sports cars (from Ferrari to McLauren to Astin Martin, etc), and while nicer, none of them made me say "this is worth $50k-$200k more).

But then again, I'm not that into interiors, nor am I a typical consumer, so that's just my opinion. One of my favorite cars of all time didn't have a radio, carpet or roll down windows. And even used nylon pull rope to unlatch the doors. But the Ferrari F40 was a true track car, and weight reduction was king.

Seats do suck. No doubt about that. Unfortunately, Chevrolet is in a difficult position trying to please all of the people rather than a select few. People buying Ferrari's don't care if the car is hard to get into, it's a Ferrari!

The seats are selected for the target audience and for being extremely lightweight. A C6 seat only weights something like 23lbs. In comparison, FIT's GTO has supurb seats, that also weigh over 110lbs EACH!!! Aussies make some nice stuff but I swear they mix lead with everything. If the new Camaro (which I don't like) was the same weight as the new Mustang, performance would be similar, but as it is, weight is a huge factor and that's what the Corvette is trying to manage. So they get light and unsupportive seats that 55yo people can slide into.
