Stupid to anyone who really knows but I think it's true; the German cars are priced at a premium because of that cachet and brand equity, whether it's currently deserved or not vs. the non-German competition.

As far as the interior is concerned, with such a high performance car as the 'Vette, are you really sitting in there driving and admiring your interior??
WOW just WOW. by the way I drive my X5M with the same cloth I use in my Z06
