Which Audi and Caddy interiors did you like best?
The A8's was probably the most ornate-looking, as would probably be expected from the price.
Did you get to see the new 2017 Lincoln Continental's interior at the show? That one, for sheer glitz, is a tremendous advance over its predecessors, and brings back much of the traditional Detroit luxury-car bling that has been missing for decades.

the cadillac ct6 was exceptional, although, again, the cadillac (interior) lineup was also very well built.
i did get a chance to see the new continental and i didn't care for it. i thought there was an unnecessary amount of chrome nearly everywhere i looked. it came across as gaudy.

I see you have the Toyota Supra interior up there. Personally I thought the Lexus SC version was nicer, better leather, better materials, better layout, better color scheme, cool electrolumencent gauges, etc I do like how the dash on the Supra tilts towards the driver and kind of wraps around though, its a neat swoopy design.

What interior is the 2nd and 3rd one from with the buttons on the wheel? It looks like possbily a mid 90's Bonneville which had a similar interior. I remember some concept car interiors from the mid to late 80's with really cool interiors, I am going to look for some pics of them to post up, I remember seeing some great concept cars at a auto show in 1991, saw the Pontiac Banshee, Buick Wildcat, Corvette Indy, Peugeot Oxia, Oldsmobile supercar, Cadillac Solitaire, and a few others, I have a few photos I took of them.

I had a Grand Prix with all the controls in the steering wheel. The horn wasn't an issue your thumb was all that had to move. It's a like my Land Rover is just reach with my thumbs. My hands never leave the steering wheel then. Actually it made it easier to control the radio and such without taking your eyes and hands away from driving.

I remember when those came out. It was a major safety hazard. When in a panic or emergency situation, people would be smashing all those buttons trying to activate the horn. Terrible idea. Horn should always be in the center of the steering wheel, where everyone expects it to be.

Nice setup! I had no idea the technology could be so upgraded. (Of course, it probably couldn't in '01 when I sold my '99 SC300.) I had my complete sound system upgraded. If I could have had these upgrades as well I would have probably kept it. Timelessly beautiful car, and they run forever!

Going back to muscle cars, most of them had very basic, cheap interiors from economy cars. Things like idiot lights instead of real gauges, no tachometers were common, as this stuff was optional, or not even an option in some cases. One of the cars that I thought actually quite nice inside was the Dodge Charger. The dash layout with a big round speedo, optional tach/clock, just the clean look of the dash was great

The LFA has my second favorite interior. I love the hard horizontal lines and the no-nonsense feel of it, like a Japanese 911 interior but with loads of carbon fiber and leather. My ES is a really cheap imitation of that and that makes me happy ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My favorite interior has to be the one in the new Panamera: the clean gauges and that swooping center stack and tunnel make it look like an Airbus cockpit.
