Thought of the day: the MkII S-Type deserved a much better interior.

Not this mess of Ford buttons splashed in a empty piece of plastic. It looks like someone sliced a part of it like a fruit.

I looks so small and misplaced.

Did that come before or after this version of the interior?

Because this one seems much better.

This is the facelifted version, a much much better version.

“How To Fuck Up a Sat-Nav System”

By Ford Motor Company

Are you a fledgling car company, looking to design your first shitty assed sat-nav system? Well you’re in luck! Because the engineering gurus at Ford are here to help with this handy guide.

Here’s what you need to do.

1. Make the screen smaller than the display on a fucking Apple Lisa

2. Position it way, way, way over to the passenger and away from the driver. Because fuck your line of sight.

3. Make the unfathomable controls smaller than fucking TicTacs.

4. Don’t worry. None of this stupid shit will lead down a dark and miserable road where you flirt with bankruptcy court and mortgage your assets to save your ass.

Got it? Good! You’re well on your way to pissing off your customer base and bringing near death to prestigious luxury brands everywhere. God speed! And don’t sell cars in our country.

Speaking of Ford parts-bin sharing, I discovered that the first generation North American market Transit Connects use the same style key as the S-Type and X-Type. What I don't know is if that was a Jaguar thing (probable, as Ford tends to use flat keys, nit the semi-cylindrical Jaguar ones) or a European Ford thing.

I took a picture of the Transit Connect key but Kinja doesn't like me putting any photos in comments now, apparently.

That wood looks good, everything else.....Ehhhhhh.

The nav looks way too positioned near the passenger side of the car. I’d imagine that the driver would have a little bit of trouble with that.
