This surprised me a bit

This used GLC was in the Kia showroom. I opened it up and poked around inside. Very nice. But here’s the thing: I then went and looked at the Telluride next to it, and you know, the MB interior wasn’t any better feeling than the Kia. There was one noticeable difference. The lower door panel on the Merc was a soft molded plastic vs the Kia’s hard molded plastic.

I know there is a lot of variation in materials depending on trim level, but it still seems a little strange that there should be so much overlap between an AMG anything and a Kia anything.
