I was referring to the interior... which just looks kinda dull and dated. The ES and LS interior look much more modern to me.

You can't deny it's definitely a good looking car.. While no car is perfect, this car isn't so far off...

I think it's decent. I wouldn't say good looking but not ugly either. A bit bland but it's what's underneath that's going to matter the most.
It's the cosmetics is what is deterring me to consider this car. I need a new car fairly soon and I think I'll end up settling for something cheap, economic and has a high resale so that when something finally comes along (that I can afford) and I want I can go and trade up.

I amazed that they nailed the body design on the first generation. This car will evolve into something beautiful like the G coupe. I hope she doesnt get as heavy though

I'm not completely sold on the design. The front facia looks like it's not sculpted properly. I looks like it is "melting" and has a sloppy feel to me.

The coupe is based off the sedan right? I doubt the engine bay changed in any significant size.

Maybe they'll have an upscale $35k model with the 375hp V8
