So I just got back from the Chicago Auto Show and had the opportunity to sit in quite a few of these interiors. I will say, materials quality and fit/finish makes such a huge difference. An interior which may LOOK like it's luxurious often times doesn't translate into feeling luxurious when you actually sit in the car.

Case in point - the Genesis GV80 got the most votes on this poll. And from an overall styling/design perspective, it is quite nice. But sitting in one today after having sat in the Audi Q7/Q8, there is a night and day difference in terms of quality and fit/finish (Unfortunately BMW and Mercedes have skipped out on the Chicago Auto Show for the 2nd year in a row - something about them thinking it's not worth their time). You really begin to realize that the Genesis is using lower grade materials which are designed to look nice.

This isn't a knock on Genesis, for the price it's a great interior. But for anyone that says purchasing a BMW/Mercedes/Audi means you're just paying a premium for the badge and nothing more, I have to disagree.
