I'm tellin ya, those Pontiac plastic rocker switches in the LS interior do it in. They are really ugly in person. I just don't understand why Lexus doesn't at least make them in black.

Definetly love the Jag and Lexus interior.

Both are quite a piece of workmanship.

My vote for MB. I just recently had the chance to sit in a '03 S500 and a CL500. It truly feels like money when sitting in those cars. The leather is just beautiful and the instrument gauges are very nice to read. However, MB cars have way too many buttons to push which gets a little annoying..

It would be hard for me to decide between MB and Lexus so I voted both.

Not sure why it was left off this list, but i'm gonna say the Infiniti Q45 has the nicest interior of any of them. To me, it's very luxurious and very coddling.

Default VW & Lexus

I'd have to have a split vote since I own an SC and just traded in my Cadillac for a VW Phaeton!

Where do I fit in the demographic?!?

If you took some of the features of a Benz and put it in a Lexus, you'd have a perfect car. Lexus & Mercedes get my vote, but if you've ever tried to disassemble a Mercedes interior, you will soon learn to appreciate the simple, unitary contruction of a Lexus!! And as for Acura, shame shame.... always three steps behind. Infiniti deserves its place on this poll!

If you want a disassembled Mercedes interior, don't worry........just wait for a few months and it will start disassembling itself.....and the labor will be free.

Actually the Acura is out of its class being here on this poll. Theres nothing wrong with the new Acura Interiors in fact I think their interiors are awesome, but they need to be in a poll with the likes of Saab/Volvo/ Audi A4/ VW. It was very unfair to have them in this poll, of course they're going to get shot down, look at who they're up against.

The pre-Chris Bangle BMW's were probably the best interiors for enthusiasts.
AGREED!

If there was an option to choose the european benz interior, I would choose that. All suede and german leather. Absolutely stunning. Why does US have to get poor interior options, I don't get it.

I believe the premiun leather and alcantra linings come standard in the V12 Benz here. I think the Designo interior options also have them. The real poor interior options for Benz aren't even available in N. America, you can get cloth seat E and S class in Europe.
