Best Accord interior ever. Too bad the outside wasn't as stellar.

^^I can't stand the interior of the new C class. The outside is awesome but the inside is hideous

No bias whatsoever here, but the TL has one of my all time favorite interiors. It's even better than my GN interior .

for a sports/track car, it is tough to beat the S2000. minimal distraction, all driver-oriented.
i love my black & red interior


for grand touring, DB9/DBS all the way!

New C-Class's inteiror isn't so bad. But the plastics leaves you questioning what the heck MB is doing. Other than that I find it very attractive, even if it's not as good as an Audi's interior.

What kills it for me is the radio. Everything else I can stand but that pentagon shaped radio just looks so plain and cheap

I agree about the radio, but for all those complaining about plastic interior, the BMW's aren't much better

Kinda OT, but I drove my friends dads RL the other day (2004, before the switch over) and wow...for some reason everything about that car seemed right. I can't explain it. The center stack was so clean...nicest radio i've seen. The freakin' volume knob was some kind of polished aluminum with a wood ring around it. Talk about detail! And it had the nicest seats i've ever sat in, by far.

That's because it's before all the cost cutting. I bet the dash was soft touch as well. And the wood was real.

For being an every day affordable car. I actually liked the Pontic G6's interior. The layout is very nice and everything is very accessible.

I think it's a nice touch, how when it's down the top bit of the screen still pokes out and shows like radio information or something.

it isnt my only gripe... i dunno but lately, MB's interior materials have been questionable... shapes, what they're made of, etc

and IMO. the c class lux version?

the day MB NEEDS to make a LUX version of a car thats a lux brand to put decent materials in? WTF imo

^ agreed - that looks out of place. And the steering wheel kinda makes me go .

edit: for the steering wheel I think its just the color - it seems to look quite alright in the C63 interior I think that interior color in general is quite bad.

I test drove this last weekend. A little busy but definitely lux. I loved the massaging lumbar support, breitling clock, and bentley cellphone. The GTC Speed was heavy as all hell though, definitely felt like a whale in stop-and-go driving.

Thanks Srika! Unfortunately no J. Rene in the GTC Speed LOL.

Yummy, the local dealership for exotics recently started carrying the Bentley line. They are primarily Audi but also have F-cars, Lambos, Lotus, Maserati (no Astons). This past Sunday they had a Bentley launch party at this local country club 1 mile from my crib. I know a bunch of the guys at the dealership so my name is on the "VIP" list or whatever when they have functions. Plus, they keep trying to get me out of my c2s even though porsche>*

So far I went to the Audi R8/Maserati Granturismo launch party, a F-car party, and the Gallardo roadshow. I'll post up more pics of the Bentleys (I didn't drive the Flying Spur, only the GTC) but here's some pics from the Gallardo roadshow.

BTW, this guy I know Earl bought that flatblack superleggera. He already owns a 599 gtb fiorano LOL.

They're not the same steering wheels. 4 spoke vs 3 spoke, and one is quite apparently more expensive LOL
