It is much too tacky wacky for me. The Enclave is acceptable however. It is a matter of opinion I suppose.

It also reminds me the Hyundai Sonata interior.

I would also like to add that the rear seat door panel looks horrible. What is that? a mile of leather with no stitching?

also the door lock pins look cheap okay nitpicking a little here

Whats up with the color on the steering wheel? Bet they'll charge a lot for this whole package too.

Maybe not the choice of colors......but I do like the layouts and HOPEFULLY the level of craftsmanship matches with what is seen in the pictures.

Not sure about that car but on some models the Chinese model/version of a Buick gets a nicer more higher quality interior and somewhat different design then the American version since Buick is so respected in China. It would not surprise me if that was a model for China.

Isn't this a concept or is it making production? The interior is very nice.

two tone brown leather seat that looks like it has stitching that looks uncomfortable unless you have horrible case of scoliosis...
light tan with blue stitch / dark brown tan stitching dashboard
obviously fake looks like laminated wood trim
brown plastic that looks like it doesn't match anywhere (by the front vent)
brown suede headliner that doesn't match any of the other brown
tweeters facing no where near the listening position (tweeters are very directional)
why does the driver have an oh-***** handle bar?
and chrome.

i'll pass...just way too many things going on.
I'd rather have the Vauxhall version...especially those seats.

This is an improvement for GM, but not a threat to others. The dash shown on page one is still overstyled, too glitzy, too bright, and tacked on. I don't think the ES has much to worry about.

The buttons and the guage faces still look cheesy. If they at least do something with the guage faces it could be sooo much more elegant.

Way too many buttons. I'm driving a car, not operating the goddamn space shuttle.

overall looks great. But GM should take a lesson from Audi on interior ergonomics. That center stack looks horrible - tiny screen, looks to be too far from drivers reach. Doesn't flow with front layout at all.

And i might be spoiled by my old 2GS and current LS460 but i think a nice padded front armrest is a must in a luxury sedan.
