I see you have the Toyota Supra interior up there. Personally I thought the Lexus SC version was nicer, better leather, better materials, better layout, better color scheme, cool electrolumencent gauges, etc I do like how the dash on the Supra tilts towards the driver and kind of wraps around though, its a neat swoopy design.
I also love the interiors on some old school luxury cars, especially the 1950's/early 60's. They had some just wild designs.
1961 Chrysler:
I liked the SC interior but really liked the Supra interior and the way it angled toward the driver plus I loved the exterior styling of the Supra Turbo and its performance.

Do you like angled dash boards for the majority of cars that you like?
Here are a few more, even though the Phaeton is a lemon right off the lot it does have a nice interior, I thinking the Aurora and Buick Riviera interiors where cool when they came out, same with the Olds Trofeo and Tornadoe. Infinti M45 had a very nice interior too, new one is nice too.

Even if you liked the general look of them, though (and I respect your opinion on that) , those 90s-vintage GM interiors were during the period when they were doing essentially rental-grade cars and interiors, with bargain-basement plastic and hardware.

The Supra was the only angled dash I found really interesting, the Aurora was pretty cool too. I liked the last Mazda 929 too. I will have to find a good picture of one.

Oh don't get me wrong, the Supra is a far superior car to the Lexus in every other way except comfort. I love the wild styling and wish Lexus had put the 2JZ-GTE(the twin turbo motor) in the Lexus.
As far as exotics, I love how stripped out and minimalist the interior is in the Ferrari F40. It really is a street legal race car, notice the 5 point racing belts.
Then on the opposite side of the specturm is anything built by Horacio Pagani lol

The materials were not Acura or Lexus grade and not that good but they had a more interesting design then your avg family sedan, the temp control on the doors was pretty cool on the Aurora. I have to find a good pic of the original Infiniti Q45 interior, I liked that one too along with the 2nd Gen Acura Legend.

Aurora interior was indeed cool. Caddy STS from mud 90s was nice
Yeah the STS in the mid 90s was pretty nice, we had one. The Lincoln Continental from 95 was really nice inside too.
Agreed....the Cadillac SLS / STS interior was probably GM's best effort during their Rental Car Age of the 1990s, when most of the rest of their interiors were junk. I didn't consider the mid-90s Continental interior in the same league as the STS's.
Agreed on SC430 as having one of the best mass-produced interiors. I owned two of them and they were great places to spend time.
SC300/400 for one of the most driver-friendly, well-built, and forward-thinking interiors of its time. Still looks good today.
Also, new S-Class Coupe and anything ever produced by Aston Martin.
Sorry, I would not go back to the over-quilted, over-chromed interiors of the 60's and 70's, even though my great uncle owned a couple.
Lastly, I would submit the Pontiac Grand Am for its time because it was the first American car with bucket seats and a proper shifter in a sedan, along with real guages and genuine African Crossfire Mahogany wood. (Well, it was a wood veneer that peeled off frequently. My father owned one.) Anyway, it was designed to address the Europeans and it was a bold move for GM at the time, bright red trim notwithstanding.
Funny how we admire the STS interior (I also like it) yet they redesigned it for '95 (I think) to be Lexus-esque, with the larger buttons, etc. Too bad the fit and finish was terrible. Materials were pretty good, though.

Fit and finish was fine IMO. I still think it had the nicest leather, zebrano wood, and plush carpeting that I have seen. The leather IMO might of been the best ever I have sat in. The Cadillac Escalade 1996 or 1997 had wonderful leather too.
