It's CNET, for Christ's sake. When they say the cabin is "badly outdated", they're only referring to how many gadgets (Bluetooth, GPS, MP3) it comes with—and how current those gadgets are. They're not talking about how the cabin looks, or the quality of materials, or how comfortable it is. Just cool geek stuff.

 

Yes, isn't CNET more about the gadgets than actual performance, handling, etc.
The RX I think does pretty badly in the gadget area. Especially since they have a really stubborn integrated head unit that is expensive to replace.

I do want blue tooth, a movie player, GPS. Now I'm going to have to spend big $$$ to replace HU with a pioneer screen.
