Ward's 10 Best Interiors released
#77
To determine the winners, editors drive the vehicles during their routine commutes and submit score sheets ranking each interior based on several criteria, including materials, ergonomics, comfort, safety, value, fit-and-finish and overall design. Scores also are applied based on the user-friendliness of the human-machine interface and the ability to link mobile phones and access vehicle information.

I do like the Pathfinder's dash. It's symetric, traditional, and free of wild lines or gimmicks.
The XTS would just about be on my list if GM would quit using gaudy chrome all over the place.

The GS is decent, but I don't care for the big "hole" that occupies the upper dash. It looks like birds could perch in there during a rain storm. Same with the ES, which is cut up with too many layers and shelves.

Hello Clublexus. Except for chevy spark and kia forte, the rest of the interiors are simply beautiful. I especially like Acura interior design even though I haven't been in one. We don't Acuras in Indonesia.

As for the XTS, I'm not impressed with its chassis/wheels/tires/suspension and sound insulation. But, as for the interior, even with the awkward finger-slide bars and CUE system, it is worlds ahead of the DTS it replaces.

Unless they gave the odometer weights, IMO the bamboo interior is a bit too yellow when surrounded by the flaxen. I may be biased but I like this one better.

GM uses chrome today for a reason. For years, their interiors (and some of their exteriors), especially Chevy and Pontiac, were little else but a sea of cheap monotone plastic that looked and felt like something out of a dime store. Chrome brought back some dignity to both their interiors and exteriors. I agree, though, that sometimes it can be too much....but, in general, that was far more of a problem back in the chrome-laden late 50s/early 60s than it is today.
