Well, not only those decisions but also whoever came up with the titles for those categories as well . Talk about something awkward and misleading.

I agree that the backlit electroluminescent dash lights are nice but the Corvette and Dodge Viper ( and some other higher-line sports cars ) have a number of gauges on-board that I have not seen in any Lexus, such as oil pressure gauge, ammeter, and oil temperature. That is why I specifically mentioned those two cars.

The first IS300, for instance, had room for an oil-pressure gauge in the little chronometer-style 3-ring setup inside the speedometer but instead, in the U.S.-market versions, chose to put a tiny vaccum-operated gas-mileage needle in its place.

I think grading best interier all sucks. It doesn't include RX330, ES350, IS350, LS430, GX470,and LX470! I am very angry, but they didn't vote any Lexus SUV on the lists! Very poor grading on Wards. Only new GS on the list premium luxury sedan. Wards sucks as hell!

BMW 3er for the best navigation award. My cousin got a e90 330i and that has to be by far the most infuriating navigation system I have ever laid my hands upon. The screen is incredibly low-resoution, the destinations are a pain in the *** to put in, the map is garbage, it' smissing lots of small streets, the guidance on the map is incomprehensible, etc etc. I could really go on and on and on about how terrible iDrive navigation is. That nomination alone makes me think the rest of this list is absolute garbage.

I just sent all those dumb focks an e-mail. Read below.

Your choices are ridiuclous. Its clear you neither sat nor used most all of the interiors you chose as winners. My blind dog could see better than you. Please revise your winners and actually, open the door and look and touch and God Forbid, drive the cars you claim are winners.
Your choices are not even controversial, they are just retarded, you know, special olympics.

May God forgive you for such ignorant choices, next thing you'll pick a Honda lawnmower engine as one of your 10 best engines.

Sincerely.

Ron Burgandy aka Trying to help ya'lll not look like total clueless dumbasses.
