My Lexus doesn’t have a single piece of hard plastic in it, not even the A B or C pillars, or even all the way under the dashboard or under the console lid, seriously not a single piece. All soft touch panels.
NOW, would the majority of people notice that? Probably not, but the auto industry has made it seem that cars with materials like that are to be perceived as “fancy” and upscale (I fell for it and agree lol). The people pushing on all that stuff are reviewers and if it’s not up to spec, prepare for “middling interior quality” comments from them.
