The jag looks nice and simple, kinda like the volvo but less goofy. The audi isn't goofy enough. The saab also looks very inviting to drive.

I never use the rotary knob to choose menus. I just click the up/down and left/right buttons.

I went with the M.

I find that the Jag is very similar to Audi's interior. Lexus GS is outdated as hell.

Infiniti, Acura, and Jag are the most appealing to me.

the BMW actually is a turn off to me

It was close between the A6 and the M, but I gave my nod to the A6. That said the A6 wouldn't be at the top of my list of cars to buy and I would place myself in the dash stroker category.

Just looking at the pictures and not actually sitting in them, I like the Jag and BMW. I voted for the Jag; it's so clean and simple.

M is nice, but i hate that layout. loathe it. i like an encompassing dash - like the audi. the M dash makes you feel like you are sitting down at a desk. looking down at the shelf buttons would annoy me.

BMW free flowing "stacked" dash is appealing, but could get boring.

MB should be ashamed of themselves. just pathetic. esp. that one piece wheel. daimler chrysler merger was death to them.

i voted audi. also, the saab is nice too - very cockpit like.

Top 5:

1. Infiniti
2. Jaguar
3. BMW
4. Mercedes
5. Audi

They are all nice, but the Infiniti and Jaguar are easily the best.

LMFAO same exact thing here. Like the older Mercedes from the like early 2000 and even 1990's would have a ton of the buttons if u got the navi option haha. I would have to say the Infinity then the RL.

The Audi would be nicer if all of that silver was black. A few bits of silver trim is ok, but that is silver overload (the Jag is very close to this, but the shear simplicity of the layout overcomes it).

I think you can get other trim options including different types of wood.

I think the Audis are always better sitting in them than in photos. The quality of their materials isn't as apparent.

The one option I didn't think I would like but wound up really liking is the drivers side leather stitched dash for the Audi. I would assume that is offered on the basic A as well.

I've always loved Lexus interiors.

But the Infiniti does looks cool.

I don't like the central speedometers on the Acura, Lexus, Benz, and Saab. The clock on the Benz takes up too much space, and the tachometer is tiny, looks ridiculous. The Lincoln's gauges look very hard to read. I'm not sure about the Saab's material quality either. Another thing I don' t like is when gauges are set into separate pods, looks cheap.

Negatory...I think the CTS is more up against the 3-series, A4, TL, et al...A better Cadillac example should be the DTS.
