Ive actually heard Frame wise or structure wise those trailblazers are awesome, i would be willing to bet anything around that frame was ready to fall to bits after like 4 years just like any GM product but meh what can you do.

I had to laugh, the in laws have gone throuh 2 malibus in the last like 7 years and each one after like 3 -4 looked 10 years old.  Seats worn to shit, no paint left on window buttons, various devices not working or buttons broken.  So they went out and bought another GM, a traverse.  Refused to buy "Forgien" lol and the interior looks exactly them same.  just another varioation of the 1992 Corsica.

Total shit. feels like the seats are 2 pices of plywood.

wonder how much of their business is Blind loyalty to GM.

Yeah Ive noticed that stuff my whole life. And you putting it exactly that way made me remember why I started liking honda's when I was only like 12. All american cars fall apart and the interiors look completely destroyed within a few years. Honda's can be 20 and the dash and seats can look almost new.

I have an 86 Civic with a better interior than 95% of the 1995 Civics out there.  It's maybe average condition for that bodystyle.  The old Honda dashes don't crack, and the seats don't tear, and the windows still feel new/smooth going up and down.  A lot of 2001 Civics don't.

Honda makes junk now, same as GM.

What exactly make4s an interior look cheap?

Would you rather have a flashy interior that looks hot today, but falls apart within a few years, or one that looks somewhat dull, yet stays together for many many years?

I know people that have commented on the cheap interiors of Honduhs, yet their shit is falling apart after 6 years and less than 100K.

I agree with JD, Honduh stopped making really great cars a long time ago.  I like my 96 Civic quite a bit, but overall build quality is not nearly as good as my 91 Civic.  Haven't really been around the newest Civaks enough, but the EP3 seems to stand amongst them as a better quality car than its brothers and sisters.

GM has been great at putting expensive lipstick on a pig for many years.  People got tired of it.  Even the newer ones that I have been seem to have great initial quality, but once you see them with some miles on them, the gig is up.

I think we are talking about how well it stands up to time.  OBVIOUSLY tryin to say "which one is better" in terms of appearance is all up to the owner.

for someone who Shouts RICER all the time you sure do use a lot of RICER logic. stick to what we are talking about troll lol.

Line up 15 1995 civics and 15 1995 corsicas and lets start seeing which ones have working buttons, buttons with all their paint and or markings, cracks in dash, faded colors, rattles.  Not to mention the civic have had 15 year olds beating the hell out of em where corsicas have granny going to bingo and gettin their hair did.  parent n laws are in their 50s and had a malibu for 3 years on trade in the seats were torn, none of the window buttons were black they were the Glo in the dark plasitc stuff under the black paint.  Car looked like it was 10 years old.


but really you think this:


looks more thought out and constructed better than this?



to each his own but i dont think too many would agree with you.

^^^^what he said^^^^^^



maybe it is cheap, which would be more of a shame cause then not only are they better but their better while still being made out of cheap ass bullshit. GM cant even make a decent one with shit that cost more. 


there did i play ball with you well enough now?

I never said it was great, ASS, but compared to some of its closest kin, IMO, it is much better.

91 civic interior = cheap crap.

Sure is, but my dash isn't cracked, the headliner isn't sagging, and the door panels aren't falling apart.

Lemme guess, you want to compare an entry level car with a flagship of the same era?  You really are a foggot Johnny, and I mean that in the South Park sense of the word.

Yeah perhaps ill snap some pics of my 15 year old VW interior.  not one rip or fade or crack anywhere in my leather and its never been conditioned. only thing wrong was headliner needed to be redone.

Even My heated sideview mirros and washer nozzles still work fine.

Most of the midlevel and better 1995 Chevys have crappy interiors.

Seriously, the argument is going to vary car to car, year to year, OEM to OEM, but Chevy has some of the absolutely worst interiors ever ever ever.  They've cleaned things up a lot in the last decade, but holy shit Johnny were you drunk and inbreeding the whole of the 80s and 90s that you can say the things you do?

Wait, i forgot you're just trollin'  O0

I sort of started this turn in the thread about interiors. I never said the word nice I said that 4th gen civics interiors hold up and can still look new and function like new. Never did I say I thought they were nice.

here is a nice interior go to pic 735

From a functionality standpoint, yes.  From a glued on fake wood dash facia that looks great to someone who's never seen a real wood dash, that starts peeling off after five years like some VWs, no I guess it's not as nice.

Ergonomics has as much if not a whole lot more to do with it in my mind that whether or not the car came with leather seats and doo-dads you don't need.

Thread like this one and others make me sad.  Appearntly reading before posting is just an insane idea.

sooooooooo funny how many people want to argue if its "nice" or not.  HOW THE FUCK DO YOU JUDGE THAT.  Obviously appearances are up to the owner, to each his own.

so back to if the interiors shitty or not.  Chevy interiors look like hell after 15 years of use.  Honda interiors DONT after 15 years of ABUSE.

Yoseph, I do not like VW's, yes I have built lots of parts for them and owned a few as well but I do not like anything about those cars, the only mild attraction is the small 4cyl turbo diesels.

I like 80's mercedes interiors, they aren't like bmw's with all sorts of fancy doo dads, they are basic and clean. I like the 190e 2.3-16 Cosworth interiors, as well as c4 chassis s4 and s6 Audi interiors, both in black leather. They don't rattle and buzz like Honda interiors of the same age, not to mention having little to no road noise.

80's Honda interiors rattle about as much as 80's Mercedes.

96+ Honda chassis... Soichiro was on his deathbed and the K-series was already laid down on paper.  I don't like them, either.

Like I said, varies year to year, OEM to OEM, model to model.
