Dumb AOL Auto - Best Interior Makeovers

The dumbest auto article I have read in awhile. Suspect selection - the worst being the Corvette, which still has a subpar and cheap interior. I guess when you start from being horrific and make it marginally better, you're doing great....

The Civic's latest interior is a weird mess. Someone is getting paid to write this article believe it or not.

Yet no Mazdas in that comparison. But we all know Mazda has the best interior of all Jap cars . Excluding lotus.

EVERYONE that hears my "You got mail!" is slightly frightened these days - I use aim mail because it's easy to configure with aim to get pop up notifications on my desktop.

How exactly are you "excluding lotus" when it isn't and never was a Japanese auto manufacturer.

Maybe you mean Lexus? Which is the luxury brand owned by Toyota.

I think he just means that they have toyota motors. Or at least the elise does and that new 2+2 they made does too.

Who cares where Lotuses are made their interior sucks and are so admittedly... Nowhere in the motto "Cut weight and then make it lighter" is there room for a flashy interior

I don't care where they are made, or what kind of interior they have. I was just correcting incorrect statements.

Yea, It looks like the same gauge cluster from the Porsche Boxter that has been used since 97. Is that what you mean?
