James, thanks for the story. It was a fun read.
I agree with you about the cheap-feeling interiors, but I didn't think it extended to higher-end models. A friend of mine just bought a brand-new Outback and the interior feels very, very nice.
The thing is, almost every auto manufacturer is going to really thin plastic for the interior. Is it to save weight? Is it a sacrifice in the name of other features? I don't know. Thin, cheap plastics in the interior used to be primarily the domain of the Big Three, but the bar can always be lowered. Believe it or not, the Big Three seem to be using even cheaper interiors than before.
