Wood in a car is kinda important. Everything you are going to touch should be made of good materials and not the cheapest plastic they could source from China. Save that cheap plastic for American cars, and budget cars meant for rental fleets.
Everything I touch should be nice to touch - including my gas cap.
Alas, not every car is full of things that are nice to touch - but they should be (with a few exceptions, and even then they can do better).
American car companies had mostly forgotten how to make a nice interior. A few cars models have it figured out again.
American cars have not included anything but plastic for a long time
Most of 'em, but a few are starting to learn. Like, there's almost no cheap plastic in a new C8 and Caddies have good interiors again. There's a few others, but those spring to mind. Oddly, my Ram has a pretty good interior. It's got some plastic, but it's not the cheap plastic and much of what I touch is metal and leather.
The higher priced vehicles should have better materials
