No one is going to convince me this looks good. It looks horrible, like a rejected 1997 Saab interior design.



The previous ten flowed very well and was very pleasing to the eye ala Caddy CTS. Materials were hard plastic but its not a 50k car, its a 20-30k one. If the new car has better materials that is great but that interior makes me dizzy.

Mind you I am not the target market for it at all and surely it will sell fine.

 

me love me dat classic interior. but every time i see sc interior, it reminds me of this scene where adventurous gal making passionate love to that shift ****..

 

Looks much better in and out than the last generation to me.

 

It's easy to post an unflattering picture, but we should at least be fair.

first pic was simply real life pic of the speedo... it was just the reality.

I dont think that last photoshop pic have to do anything with reality :-)

They used old dials and now they have simple dials instead of lcd's for fuel, temp, etc... so basically a lot of cost cutting when there.

 

What is reality? The two images that Hoovey posted are reality? The point I was trying to make is that the image he posted of the new
instrument cluster vs. the old instrument cluster was not reality.
I simply posted a like vs like comparison image of each showing a more "realistic" reality. How's this for reality?

Saab was, and is, primarily an aircraft designer....and (when designed in Sweden, and not just rebadged versions of other vehicles), they tend to design their automotive instrument panels more or less along an aircraft-cockpit theme, with most of the controls either in front of or tilted towards the driver.



It will sell fine if it continues to undercut the Camry/Accord in price and deliver reasonably good quality and design for the money. Most people I know who have Sonatas are very pleased with them. I thought the 5Gen version (2006-2010) was far and away the best, with the 6Gen being somewhat of a letdown.....but the 6Gen admittedly still sold well.

 

Actually it turned into apathy once I got onto google images

thanks for the addition

 

+1, who are they trying to impress?

 

Sure it does, but too little back pressure and you loose power. Im 99% sure that this exhaust is for aesthetic reasons only. Im also sure that it is just quad tip not a true quad exhaust making it even more laughable ...

 

I had some seat time in the new Sonata. Its nice, it is fully competitive within the segment, Toyota and Honda are still better, its on par with Ford but still ahead of GM.

 

turbo version?

 

Please be more specific. Drivability/Dynamics? Interior materials or fit and finish? Etc.

 

Turbo versions of the 2015 haven't hit dealers yet. Production was supposed to lag the 2.4's a little bit.

 

There's a lot of 'trapezoid' going on in there
