On the XT5, Pacifica, and Camaro, respectively. In other news, hell freezes over, yadda yadda.

I’ve never sat in a Chrysler Pacifica, but that interior sure isn’t attractive. Looks like a busy mess of different elements fighting for attention.

They’re not wrong. The XT5 is fantastic, so are the Pacifica and the Camaro. Still not really digging the Camaro’s wheel though, but that’s mostly a minor personal gripe.

It’s not Volvo, but the new Buick interiors are nice

the Camaro’s steering wheel looks like a big-nosed sad face.

Interesting. GM’s interiors rank pretty low on my personal preference list. Too much swoopy angular stuff for my taste.

Also, I hate dash-mounted shifters with the intensity of 2, maybe even 3, burning suns. Either put it on the column, or put it on the floor.

I love that curved stitching.

It’s a weird shifter location to me, too, but I guess it’s a space saver.

Camaro? Really?

I agree with the XT5, but I don’t see what’s so special about the Camaro. The fact that it looks better than the last-gen isn’t really much of an accomplishment.

Their newer interiors look even better; like the Lacrosse.

For what it’s worth, I really liked the interior of the 15 ATS too. I just wanna know how they got that poor photographer crammed into that spot in the Camaro...

Rented a Ram 1500 for Watkins Glenn last year...I despise that rotating drive selector. Give me the column mount so I can feel that puppy clunk into gear...all day long.

Can you remember when all 3 made extremely shitty interiors just a few years ago.

Heh, I’m reminded every day! but luckily interiors aren’t my priority.

Lot of people are apparently big fans (no pun intended) of the fancy AC controls.

I guess we are at the age where being able to see “outside” the window doesnt matter ( I am looking at you camaro)

Love everything, but the steering wheel.

Wow, the caddy interior is gorgeous. Haven’t been paying attention to them the last few years.

Mercedes have normally been one of the best in my book and the GLC looks amazing. The only thing I don’t like us the tablet stuck to the dash. Just seems out of place.

The worst I thought was the maxima, very meh.

Which is weird because literally every review I’ve read so far laments over the location of those vents and how they just blow cold air onto their arms/hands.

I haven't sat in the XT5, but I imagine it's a superb interior. I was a big fan of the Camaro interior when I sat in that, so no complaint there. But the Pacifica... I was not a fan of that interior. It looks great in pictures, but in person it is very meh. The materials are average, the design isn't great, and it's not all that spacious. I was disappointed.

Genuinely curious, where should they be pointing if not your arms? The vents in the last Camaro aren’t the best IMO, and I’ve just been lucky if the AC was working in any prior cars.

The ones in my car are pointed at my face or at my chest, but they aren’t positioned as low as on the Gen6 Camaro.

I can understand why most reviewers don’t like their position and how they blow on the hands. Whenever I use my phone as a GPS it blocks the center vents and causes air to blow over my hands. On a hot day with the AC on, my right hand can get downright chilled and uncomfortable. I end up having to completely close either one or both center vents.

Interesting. I tend to just open the windows when I’m warm, and only keep the AC on for a few minutes to dissipate the hot air if I’ve been parked outside, and aim it at my pits.

I actually like those tablets. They mean that the whole dash doesn’t look like it’s been designed around a big screen, which is usually very awkward.

Hell already froze over. I plan on picking up a Camaro this summer. I like it’s interior, even in 1LT form.

While I find the Camaro wheel ugly, it feels quite nice.

Only thing I don’t like about the old LaCrosse is that centre stack. It just looks a bit, off.

I have no idea what car interior designers were thinking in the late 2000s/very early 2010s to think this actually looks decent. Main reason I don’t really like Ford interiors of late.

But, life goes on, it’s not that major of a flaw. Those seats on the LaCrosse are absolutely fucking amazing. Seats have always seemed to be Buick’s forte.

It’s really not much worse than any new modern car lol. Plus, a back up camera is standard.

Well obviously I need to get my ass to the nearest Buick dealership and test drive one of those because that looks fucking astonishing. The steering wheel is massively better than previous attempts and actually looks unique to the car and not just a GM corporate part with a different badge.

Eugh that Ford center stack is the worst thing to ever happen to cars.

*reaches over and rattles your door cards around*

Seriously, GM. A few more plastic snaps to hold that thing in a bit better. It’s not difficult.

Actually mine are pretty good since it’s a 1SS interior - no giant ugly plastic slab

That and it’s a 1LE so suede wrapped everything, plus I got Recaros so no ugly stock seats.

Thanks for the star this morning. I don’t think I impressed you very highly the other night. I did go back next day and explicitly except the other Oppo’s criticism, but they did not reply. Leavin’ it lie...
