As for Ford Chevy/ fit & finish? Neither will make you forget Lexus but they are about average for their price range and lineage. Mostly. |
Sorry, and I'm sure you know this, $80k won't get you close to a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
But you hit on one of my talking points for years.
Example, GM designed (Cost BOM) the Camaro to be a $25,000 car. IP and all the trim and materials are set up to be in a car that sells for $25,000. Now for $80,000 (ZL1 is close) you are still getting the IP and trim and materials from a $25,000 car. So now look at the quality in other cars in the price range of $80,000. Every Luxury/Performance OEM has a car at that price point and they are far better than any Chevy.
Best example. I bought a Saturn Sky Red Line (Factory recalibration btw was AWESOME). Hard plastic IP and door trip. Pretty much Crap other than some piano black trim to jazz it up a bit. Now this wasn't so bad in the $19,900 base Pontiac Solstice. But the Saturn Red Line stickered for $36,000 and it had the same interior. For about $3,000 more I could have got an Audi TT with a WONDERFUL interior. Those 2 cars weren't even close for DSAO, Materials, Operation Quality of switches etc.
