What interior is ruined by only one item?

There are some cars that are great on the outside, and completely terrible on the interior side of things. The proportions are wrong, the head unit is hideous, the seats grab your butt in a weird way, etc.

A lovely exterior

But step inside...

Ew

I nominate any 2000s Jaguar. You have the nice leather, the furniture-quality wood accents, and an absolutely hideous radio with thousands of unsightly buttons and Gameboy style screens. It honestly looks like something from a truck. And because of the weird curvy shape, you'll have a hell of a time finding a replacement head unit.

2004 Volvo S60/V70R... The goddamn cupholder door. At least they fixed it in 2005.

Fuck you door.

Lots of that is just repurposed Ford equipment in a strange arrangement. Radio is 100% Ford, AC controls look real similar to Town Car auto controls.

I'll put my flame suite on before I say this: the Volvo R shifters are hideous IMO.

I was excited when the 370z came out. It wasn't as long as the 350, and I was seriously considering buying a Nissan.

I walked around the car, everything was nice except for those ugly door handles, and thought I could just have those painted and this would make a decent daily driver.

Then I sat in the car and saw the instrument cluster. WTF. I can't stare at that ugliness for my daily commute. Why can't you just have another gauge there like every other normal car? It just looks so out of place, its makes no sense.

That stupid boxy thing they put on the left of the instrument cluster is the single reason I didn't buy the car.

Really, any car with that awful triple center air vent. Who is the middle one for?! The driver gets one, the passenger gets one, and the third? It's pointless and I can't stand it.

On the opposite side of the coin, big single vents. The driver gets a gigantic vent, and the passenger gets jack shit. There's a difference between being driver-oriented and LITERALLY driver-oriented...

Also, those vents where you twist the knob to open/close them. They get broken soooo easily (coughMinicough).

Most beautiful dash ever ruined by a big green rectangle.

I would also accept hatred of the size of the huge vents and the tacked-on big-screen TV.

Other than that door though I like this interior — it's simple and straightforward!

This, if I wanted to tape a tablet to my dash, I would just do that. I don't need Mercedes doing that for me.

Oh god, I thought you were going to insult the U-shaped shifter when I opened this post. Glad to see you took issue with the godawful radio instead.

I just drove a new 2015 Gensis and that thing had tons of center console doors. Including one over the cup holder. I think they are making a come-back.
