Meh, it has plastic on the interior. Plastic. On a $450,000 car. Not much of a status symbol when you have cheap interior materials.

Curious, have you ever sat in one?

I'd take it for a test beat as Shawn S would say (as he did when I told him my ZR was located at a dealer near his home)

If anything it has minimal plastic parts of the supercar group. Compare the SLR to the CGT....looks about the same or maybe less on the SLR's part.

Yes, I have. It was brief, but that's all it took to realize everything silver in the SLR interior is cheap feeling, and sounds terrible when you knock on it. The SL600 I sat in next to it felt much better, materials wise.
Everything silver in the Carrera GT = magnesium or aluminium. Not the same can be said for the SLR. I love having rich friends
Edit: And if what is on the SLR is real aluminum, so is the trim on my CL-S

I haven't sat in the 600 yet but I can't believe it would be much nicer than the 55's interior. Everytime I sit/drive in the 55 I can't believe how "complete" the interior feels.

Even if there is plastic in the interior, I think the use of plastics in modern cars is near unavoidable. I mean, sometimes plastic is just the right material for the application.
That said, at least they can use nice looking plastics, not cheapy stuff like the silver things that were described.

plastic = lightweight
I love the SLR - I agree it looks kinda odd from certain angles but - I'd deal with it.
