The RDX will have a 'nicer' dash actually.

Can't be the current one. My dad has the 2002 model year which I believe is the 2nd gen for the CR-V. Maybe this is what the 3rd gen will look like.

Honda's not the only one. The spy pic of the 2006 Mercedes S-class' interior looks very similar to the BMW 7 series interiors.

That's the interior of the FR-V, Honda's new MPV...notice the middle seat in the front row.

Bingo. The CR-V's interior is much more utilitarian with nooks and crannies all around.

good lord i HATE that dash design

i absolutely refuse to believe that that is going to be the new S-class interior, until it's actually released

it looks EXACTLY like the 7-series!!! UGH

i think audi's A8 is a MUCH more coherent and cohesive design in terms of utilizing a multi-function screen, while still keeping the interior asthetically pleasing

Japs make the nicest interiors.

Never really cared for European designs, especially BMW.

i think that late 90's BMW designs were absolutely spot-on....interior and exterior
so many of their cars were just so well designed, there wasn't much not to like

however, IMO audi and jaguar do the best interiors

audi is so modern and clean
jaguar so classic and elegant....all out beautiful
