i really like the jag interior, i'm kinda partial. not to mention to see it in person, gives you a whole new respect for it. its real wood too, not plastic replicas and its got a depth to it.

as for the others, the lexus i love, all the three that israelRX put up. the VW, WAY too busy. the audi has hideous colored wood. i cannot stand that orangy/peachy tint. don't like the color combo of the bmw, its too cold and stale. the MB is just kinda weird looking to me, i guess its the mixture of black wood and the regular or something. i guess that is what it is, it looks like it has two different color woods on the steering wheel and the trim on the dash and doors. and the acura looks too much like the new honda accord minus the metal trim which does come in a trim package.

You can get tons of great pictures at high resolution (1600x1200) of both interior and exterior from http://www.speedycars.net/wallpaper/index.html

I have to warn you though, either you have to be very competent at closing pop-ups, or get yourself a good pop-up blocker, cause this site is chock full of them. Well worth it though.

Its a European site, so no Infinti and a lot of other American cars, but it has great exterior and interior photos!

The Acura's interior looks cheap, except for the blue / red insturuments. I've never been a fan of that brushed aluminum-look...but it seems to be the styling rage now. Virtually every new vehicle has it in some form or another.

Despite the fact that each car company (except maybe BMW now post Bangle) offers some amazing interiors on some models, I voted Lexus for three reasons:

1) Lexus interiors, IMO, offer dollar for dollar, higher quality and longer lasting materials than the others.
2) Dollar for Dolllar, Lexus interiors are better screwed together than the competitors
3) IMO, Lexus interiors offer better ergonomics (as in no stupid *** I drive or COMMAND system or Audi's equivalent).

Take a close look at the LS interior that IsraelRX posted. Note the color of the plastic on the mirror adjustment switch (to the left of the steering wheel) and the color and placement of the switches near the gearshift. I took a close look at these at the auto show and they are the cheap Pontiac interior color switches. I have no clue why they put these in an otherwise perfect interior. Worst case they could have made them black. I'm not sure what the switch near the shifter (top row, far left) does, but it wasn't there on the auto show car - only one that is off center was there - making it look like a last minute thought.

They are all beautiful. The real question is which interior has quality materials used. The S class is very nice looking but the quality is very low grade for example. Even though I despise the Look of the 7 interior, the materials are of high quality. The Acura should not even be in this comaparison. Absolutely disgusting and cheap looking. My vote went for the LS, I am not biased but there is no comparison here. I will post some better pics. The dark interior does not look too well there.

I think this is a better color combo.

I' ve test driven the new TL & like it 's interior very much. But it's not comparable to the other premium luxury cars posted on this thread like the LS & A8 etc.

Unite against the common enemy MB

j/k

From the pics I like the MB and Lexus interiors.
Bangul needs to be sent to his room, that BMW looks mighty ugly. I dunno it looks nice in the MTV's Osbournes show.

If the TL dosen't need to be on the the list then neither does MB..
I vote LS because I'm bias, heck I'm not afraid to say it, the LS is the best luxury car on the road, now some other luxo car owners may disagree but thats how I feel period.
If this poll was on an Audi forum the majority would be for Audi, BMW it would be the same, these sort of polls really never made any sense to me, kinda pointless actually, but fun to look at, all the interiors are wonderful.
