Cant believe how cheap!

I sat inside a new G5 and was tapping on the dash to see what material it was made out of.. Well i guess i tapped to hard because the vent plastic that runs along the top of the dash popped out of place. I wonder why they make the interiors of cars now so cheap and flimsy.

Re: Cant believe how cheap!

Its all about the money these days Markymark.

And I guess when youre in an accident, all those pieces take up shock that your body would otherwise take. Kinda like race cars how they fly into pieces when they crash.

THough those parts could also be a hazzard if they come loose and hit someone inside the car... that would suck!

Yea i guess so, but my goodness! I had a 91 Bonn SSE at one time and it had a nicely done interior with all the doors covered in carpet all over the doors and speaker covers.. The dash had a nice looking soft material that looked very nice.. Hardly any cheap plastic all over the place..DOnt see interiors like that anymore even on high end cars.

Re: Cant believe how cheap!

I'd agree with that!
They diffinetly dont make them like they used to.
Chrome!!
Thats another thing cars dont hav, inside or out.

The quicker they piece the things together the quicker they can try and make a $ale
