That looks bloody awful. Too many different colours, materials and textures going on.
Silver painted plastic should never, ever be used with light coloured leather.
Why? Are you the decorator/fasion type? Is it against some type of auto interior edict? Silver painted plastic should never, ever be used with light coloured leather.
Some of you whining about colors and textures sound like a bunch of "Marys".

I see your problem here - you're so used to cheap, tacky and badly designed American junk, you've forgotten the pleasure of a quality and tasteful interior. Some of you whining about colors and textures sound like a bunch of "Marys".

Both thoughts are ignorant.

British think American cars have poor interiors like Americans think British have bad teeth.

You say this.. but I had the displeasure of driving about 1k miles in each these yachts.Both thoughts are ignorant.
Nothing prosperous has ever happened in either of these interiors.
This is however, a much better place to be. So don't think I'm just hating on American motors.

Rolls Royce, in my opinion, do it best.
They hide technology away behind panels, technology looks ugly, leaving the simple controls on display. And they're designed to appear similar to their older models to ensure continuity, because continuity is class. It's the automotive equivalent of having perhaps not the latest suit, but tweed tailored in your style, albeit from the same material your father wore, and his father before him, who all happen to have owned half of Northumbria, or Rhodesia, or somewhere.
And rev counters? How vulgar to show how hard you're working. Far better to say how hard you could work, if you could be arsed, which you can't because you really don't have to exert yourself. Have a power reserve meter;
I am quite sure that Rolls Royce do this best.
This amused me - but I agree Rolls-Royce do make superb interiors. I particularly like the later Silver Shadow and Silver Cloud interiors - but there are so many other wonders from Rolls-Royce to choose from - made long ago right through to their recent efforts!They hide technology away behind panels, technology looks ugly, leaving the simple controls on display.

I know it will be controversial - but here's a fabulous one 
No controversy there IMO, Citroen interiors and instrumentation were amazing, future-tech inspired artwork right up till the days of the BX, I remember some earlier BX having the cool typefaces and cylindrical dials etc and later ones just looking hum-drum by comparison. Of course from an ergonomics point of view they were probably shocking but then in those days it wasn't such an issue knowing exactly what speed you were travelling at anyway.
