Actually, I for one am worried; worried that they are cutting corners in places that will be less visible, under pressure to increase profits for the group.

I was at the dealer last week and sat in a 718 GTS; I notices that the plastic panel behind the light switch and ignition key receptacle is now made of a cheaper shinier plastic that does not match any other material in the rest of the interior. About as bad as the side vent material in the new BMW X3; and that stuff is ugly!
