What exactly did you notice?

The Mustangs were locked but from the window I thought it at least looked better than the prior gen (low bar to beat). It was hard to tell the quality from looking through the window. I thought the F150 looked nice in/out too though that was also locked.
I noticed the Chevys had some wobble to the door liner when you would close the door. I think 3 separate cars had that: Camaro, SS (why does this car exist?), and sadly even the Corvette Stingray. Though the Corvette interior was majorly improved since last gen.
I also had a good chuckle at the Corolla's dollar store quality digital clock complete with H/M/SS buttons on it. I'll never understand why they do this. Yes, ok have a dedicated clock but why such a cheap looking POS? Couldn't be a stronger contrast between that and the nav screen right below it!
I didn't check out any other Toyotas--Had to leave that display quickly so as not to fall asleep.
I liked the new Honda Accord quite a bit as far as the quality of the interior. I find their layouts can be somewhat questionable but IMO the quality is high.
The Tesla Model S I thought was well put together, if spartan, though there's nothing wrong with it being spartan since most the functions are in that massive display.
I'm always a bit disappointed in the sea of hard plastics in the VW interiors even on top trims because I tend to like their cars otherwise and the new GTI sadly doesn't improve anything there. It's too bad because I like their interior designs.
I've never really liked any Lexus interior. Maybe the GS at one point because it was like a living room on wheels. I don't know about the quality specifically--I can't get past the design on most of them enough to care. For some reason they make really high tech looking instruments then throw a puke green radio and/or climate display in there like no one will notice. I think that may be the minority case these days but even without that the designs are just not my taste.
