It is nicer than the Alfa interiors.
Disagree. Actually we don't need to disagree. It's not something subjective if you at the materials used for it.

Grand Cherokee was clearly inspired by Alfa's interior when it comes to materials used for it. Real wood inserts, leather wrapped dashboard.

Ah, and Lusso Alfas have Full Grain leather seats. Usually car makers say it when they have it. I didn't see that on WL's spec sheet. Some Ram 1500 versions have it. Or maybe one version.

Real wood and leather wrapped dashboards are hardly something I’d say is inspired by Alfa. That’s just something luxury cars do, not Alfa-exclusive.

They way how is executed screams Alfa. If I need to make a guess I would say that Faurecia is supplier.

Or Ram 1500… that is what it will be compared to here. That was the first American FCA product to have such a nice interior.

Yup, I think the point Bili is making, is that since they moved Alfa to the premium segment first, the follow-up implementations in other FCA products followed the lessons from that first launch.
Obviously, they are doing their own thing and they improved on it. The 1500 and Grand Cherokee look great and since Alfa is back to a more euro-centric role, I'm not sure we will see their new products follow the 1500, and Grand Cherokee launches in interior styling.
