In response to growing demand for high-end vehicles

In response to growing demand for high-end vehicles, the interiors of the newest models of car are so luxurious that they sell for nearly twice the price of last year's models.
A the interiors of the newest models of car are so luxurious that they sell for nearly twice the price of last year's models
B the interiors of the newest models of car are so luxurious that the cars sell for nearly twice the price of last year's models
C auto makers have installed interiors in the newest models of car that are so luxurious that they sell for nearly twice the price of last year's models
D the interior of the newest models of car are so luxurious that they are sold for nearly twice the price of last year's models
E auto makers have installed interiors in the newest models of car that are so luxurious that the cars sell for nearly twice the price of last year's models

The answer is option E.

Though option E is the best option available, it does not seem grammatically right. What does the first 'that' refer to? It refers to 'car', but logically it should refer to 'interiors'. What's your opinion?

Is it right to say that 'the cars sell'? Can cars sell themselves? Shouldn't it be 'the cars are sold'?

Thanks very much!
