that's aussie not euro
I was just saying I don't think aussie interior looks as bad as some people were saying.

So, show us sexy euro car interiors. Mind you, consumer class, not exotic.
It's just the build quality, the materials used, the general look and layout. It's pretty hard to describe, you'd just need to spend some time over here and go in a couple of different cars because, like Jay says, you don't know any different.
I have been to Europe. I've been in the cars. But like I said, show typical consumer car interiors, not luxury. Same way Toyota interiors are inferior to Lexus interiors. But they are apples to oranges.

Aussie home made ones are alright and import cars usually have shite design. I think Galt was on the spot in referring to manufacturers cutting costs to remain competative.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

I'll give you the Fiat, simply because there is no near equivalent American version.Toilet Sex wrote:

I'm not a fan of most American cars, so I wouldn't be a good judge in finding American comparables to those. But while you do drive a BMW, you can't honestly say that the vast majority of Europeans drive those example cars above.Toilet Sex wrote:

I give you the most average of average cars Europe has to offer, the Vauxhall Astra
Apart from the leather and the TV screen even the most basic models have that interior (my piddly 1.6l rental did anyway ).

Why are the seats at a 90 degree angle?

This might explain some of the differences...
That's just for one car entering the US market.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/27/autom … 7LIST.htmlTransforming the Fiat 500 sold in the European Union into the 2012 Nafta model required dozens of small changes. Here are some of them:
Fascias European license plates are considerably wider and narrower than plates in the United States. The Nafta 500’s front and rear fascias were modified for American plate proportions. Additionally, the United States market also has a more aggressive looking package for the Sport model, which gets its own front fascia. Pop and Lounge model fascias are more similar to other global 500 market offerings.
Front Seat American engineers felt that European Union500s were hampered by a clumsy front seat; it took too many steps to move the front seats out of the way to allow passengers to get into the back seat. The new mechanism allows for easier, smoother operation. European markets also feature handsome seats that were deemed too small for North American backsides. American seats provide more support. Additionally, Nafta front seats have an armrest; European seats do not.
Cup Holders Nafta 500’s have a spot for a Big Gulp. European cars don’t.
Steering Wheel It includes cruise control buttons in Nafta 500s. There are no such buttons on European cars.
Radio European-spec radios tune to even decimals, making them useless to North American listeners tuning in odd-decimal channels. While the European and Nafta radio control units (called “heads”) look similar, their internals use different programming. There is a USB port in the glovebox to connect MP3 players on Nafta 500s , but because European models don’t have a glovebox, the USB port is in the console.
A-Pillar Trim The A-Pillars are what engineers call the vertical posts holding the windshield in place. Interior trim pieces cover the pillars. Because of differences in crash standards, Nafta 500s use a different shape pillar trim than European models.
Air Bags Side-curtain air bags in the Nafta 500 extend protection rearward to the second row. European side bags do not.
Exterior Rearview Mirrors The European Union allows for the use of convex exterior mirror reflectors on both sides of the car. The United States doesn’t. American regulations also require an “Objects in the Mirror...” decal.
Windshield Wipers United States regulations require a greater total swept area for wipers. Nafta wiper blades are longer than their European counterparts.
Insulation To meet customer expectations regarding overall quality, the Nafta 500 uses more insulation than what is in 500s sold in other markets. That means the North American cars are the quietest 500s on the planet.
All-Season Tires Nafta 500s feature tires with an all-season compound. The change reflects moving to a more capable tire that delivers better grip across all of North America’s climate zones.
Air-Conditioning Another recognition of Nafta’s climate is the 500’s retooled and more capable air-conditioning system.
Transmission Until now, the 500 was not available with a conventional automatic transmission. For the car to be a success in the United States, Fiat officials thought their car needed something better than the automated manual gearbox offered as an option in Europe. The Nafta 500 offers a 6-speed automatic that is based on a transmission available in the Mini Cooper.
That's just for one car entering the US market.

That steering wheel is on the wrong side.
