IMO, I think Lexus has the nicest interiors across its whole line of cars. MB is second, and BMW third because I prefer luxurious interiors compared to sporty ones. Acura comes in after BMW. The Audi and VW are just not my style, but I think they are executed very well. Jaguar is just too plain to me.

That wood on the VW is blinding me 
I voted for Lexus, M-B, and Audi.
While the Phaeton interior is nice in some aspects, its too horizotnal and flat edged for me, and there's something about it that turns me down in general about it. Plus that's the only VW interior that could compete in this survey. The question asked for nicest interiors, not interior, so that's out of the running. I also don't understand the analog clock... looks classy, I guess, but I'd much rather have a digital clock in my car. IMO, VW shouldn't even be a choice in this poll (although the guys over at the Vortex think their interiors are far better than Lexus interiors... )
The Acura interior is also nice, but I like wood, which the Acura has none of. Overall, it doesn't seem to be on par with the rest of these brands (not that it's supposed to, Acura is great at doing what they do, but top-notch luxury interiors isn't one of those things).
The Jaguar just doesn't do it for me. Not quite sure what it is, I can't really pinpoint it. Maybe its the massive abundance of wood, maybe they can lend some to Acura
The BMW is a joke interior wise. They make good cars as far as peroformance and driving goes, but they were never really known for their interiors.

Best interiors?
Jag traditionally has used the best woods and leathers.....but that J-Gate shifter is awful.
The pre-Chris Bangle BMW's were probably the best interiors for enthusiasts.

Lexus interiors are usually great, and have been for a while but with that picture you chose, I think that wood is just nasty. Yellowish wood is not a good looking feature if you ask me, so from what I can see I'd have to vote for M/B.

Its all subjective. I personally hate MB interiors these days, the passager side of the dash look to bubbly like two pillows sitting together as a whole it does nothing for me, I like acura's better. I will agree that those bright woods are flamming yet exotic (Lexus & Infinity) so it doesn't bother me that much.

Ok wow, those new pics made me change my mind. I've never seen a close up GS or LS430 interior in person before. Those high quality preofessional pics really give me a new look. Beautiful. I think its the center radio and A/C cluster that makes me dislike the Jag, the BMW looks way too cold and unforgiving, while the Audi looks way too out-of-this-world and futuristic.
