It's extremely simple. Beautiful in it's simplicity if you ask me. Maybe a *little* too simple (the passenger dash as I've stated).
I think people just have A.D.D. They want all this random junk thrown in. They think that somehow some overpriced PDA with a big, low resolution screen that can only run one application is somehow an indication of a high quality interior. You could mount a fricken laptop in your car for less money than a nav usually costs.
And the soft argument... I don't get that either. What I want is a sturdy interior that is comfortable. I think people have come to expect that a sturdy interior equates to one with soft touch materials. And that's just not always the case. Push on the panels, they aren't flimsy. I don't want something that's going to break, rattle, or squeak after a few months of ownership. Nor does anyone else. Soft touch is only part of the possible solutions. You need a sturdy, well fit interior. I believe the Camaro has that. That picture of the mustang console just screams flimsy to me. Maybe it's not, but it sure looks like it.

To paraphrase my friends that fell into the hole of mini-van submission:
They throw 360 degrees of consoles into the car to distract you from the those shaking their heads in disapproval for setting a poor example; If you're OK with buying a floating box meant for delivering groceries for 2 miles, then my cherished weekend drive to no particular destination becomes irrelevant.
