My favorites: Solid axle Vettes - 50's style was beautiful.

Audi TT - Great circular theme is maintained inside as well as outside. Excellent materials.

HSV/GTO - well made, well designed, very racey looking. Love the color keyed interior parts.

Bugatti EB 16/4 Veyron - a work of art, though it should be for the money.

Cadillac CTS/XLR - perfect balance of wood and finished metals. Bvgalri instruments are a superb touch as well.

Whatever gives you personal joy and satisfaction is the best interior. Personally my favorite is the 82 T/A interior. Just can't be beat as far as character, functionality, usefulness and logic. Everything makes perfect sense when you get in & sit down. I think it was ahead of its time. The gauge clusters got watered down with the "grid" style later in the thirdgen but the 82-only white needles and the aircraft style gauges have a simple, modest functionality to them that just can't be beat. Everything else got watered down later on too. The 82-only seatbelts that pull down from the shoulder make more ergonomic sense than the 83+ that pull across the lap. The 82-only Viscount bucket seats (optional) are flat-out stylish like no other, and very comfortable for an f-body. At the time, the Recaro seats on the Recaro Edition were something like you'd expect to find in a european luxury/sports car. The 82-only mysterious door eagle emblems that some cars got and others didn't made the car seem like a modern fossil, in a way, like something from another time when compared to newer thirdgens. Same with the 82-only auto and manual shifters; no flashy eye candy gadgets, just beautiful graceful functionality. The '82 really is more is a 2nd-gen remnant in 3rd gen clothing, more than being a real thirdgen. My only gripe is the cheap materials used here & there, but hey it was the middle of gm's Dark Ages, so that's to be expected. Most cars from this era also have the distinction of being cosmetically unrestorable, in that nobody cares enough about 'em to fabricate accurate valid parts for restoration, making them all the more rare today. A split rear seat would've been cool too; that was added 83+.

I love the odometer in the 79 Vette....

Odometer doesn't go past 100,000? That seems so odd to me. Did they not expect the vehicle to make it past 100,000 miles before falling apart or something?

 

So, let me step back for a second and say I don't get it. Great interiors! Admittedly, I've never been in a Bentley, but I've been in many cars including Audi's and Mercedes. Exactly what makes the interior so special. I still see cheap plastic everywhere. A beautifull interior wouldn't use plastic, period. But just about every car is covered in it. None impress me when it comes to materials, we're comparing tactile feel and look of something that is cheap to something that is slightly cheaper. Just superficial details to make the interior look more expensive which is only skin deep.

Good ergonomic layout, nice color combo along with fitting the personality and style of the car are what define better interiors for me.

 

Just a short note on plastic interiors.

The reason it's used is because it's the only material that can withstand the extreme tempreatures of cold and heat inside a car. Ironically, it's the cheap feeling stuff that tends to last the longest, while the very soft plastic tends to chip and peel after awhile.

Plastic is in virtually every interior in every car that is being produced today, from very cheap cars, to those vehicles we'd only dream of owning. the only difference is how it's made to feel to the touch.

 

without getting away with the price range.....


01+ chrysler sebring lxi coupe interior, with the leather package, oh my that is great.
