USA- This is not a game here, you can not bring these interiors to America anymore for your small cars with the Chinese on the horizon. The Korean car may have a more ergonomically correct interior, but the Chinese car appears to be more premium inside.

They both look like merde (Just me though, I like a thorough tasteful design not tacky plastic squibble)

The interior on the left looks like a 1990's Lexus.

The interior on the right is modern. Yes, it's plastic-ey...but its from a Accent, what do you expect for 10K.

The car they are comparing to is the full spec Chery Fulwin 2, which stickers at 13-14K IN CHINA. Expect another 2-4K more when it is sold in the USA.

I would take the Accent's interior over the Chery's any time.

Generally, historically, it's not too hard to do better than GM for a car's interior trim.
