I don’t have a degree in marketing, but I did stay at Holiday Inn Express, so there’s that.... If I were shopping for a new truck, marketing might make me consider a Chevy, but ultimately the quality of the product would be the determining factor whether I bought it or not.

the problem is if there is wind they are dramatically improving the interior, thats going to kill sales now from people waiting or people jump elsewhere because they cant wait.

Add in an uncomfortable and outclassed interior, and you're saddled with a truck that'll only attract the most faithful customers

How is a member (me) stating their opinion that these trucks have second-rate interiors because likely the C8 soaked up most of GM's R&D budget off topic and a deletable post?
That's all I have to say about the C8, I'm not trying to make this thread about the C8. I'm not trying to go OT at all.
These things happen with cars. It's the same reason the 1gen Enclave/Acadia/Traverse were allowed to die on the vine for so long without a redesign, GM was broke from the bankruptcy and let them languish. But they were good enough to keep around, they still sold well. There's a '15 in my family you can tell it's an old design but it's still quite a nice vehicle overall.
I don't think these truck interiors are completely god-awful but yes they are at the back of the pack for sure. But as I've said, it won't take them long to get the hint and refresh them. The makers listen to their customers especially when it comes to 1500s and I'm sure get earfuls constantly.
Expect a really nice interior update in a year or so.

GM better not put these interiors into the next GM SUVs.

Yes, that seems to been reason why those 1Gen triplets hung around so long.....they were selling well, making money for GM, had plenty of room inside (even by third-row-seat standards), and kept a lot of people happy, even though they had some reliabilty issues. I actually like the smaller 2Gen Acadia more than the larger 1Gen, except for those ridiculous pull-buttons for the shifting. The 2Gen Traverse and Encore did not share the Acadia's downsizing.
Which of the three is your '15, BTW?

Crossovers aren't my thing but it's great for trips bc it's huge inside.
And yes, agreed. The new big SUVs have been delayed a year. I am 95% confident it will be worth the wait.
GM will massively improve the interiors of these trucks, give it a year or two. If Ram is outselling Silverado that's going to be a hugggge deal to them.

now comes a dilemma, do you want an updated interior that has been rushed out when its the hardest part of the vehicle to engineer. Either way with this news people on the fence are going to look elsewhere or it kills current sales for future ones. 2021 model year is at the earliest, still a whiles off. Also way to **** off people who bought the 2019/2020 models
