I think we will have to disagree. I see consistency in the cabin. generous proportions and simplicity with flowing lines.
lack of real wood trim was a serious over-sight on Hyundai's part, but other than that, it looks like what it is. simple elegant front cabin
The overall shape, lines, and flow are fine. After all they are going for the Mercedes S-Class look.
It just all falls apart when you take a closer look. We'll start off with the look of the steering wheel. That deep dish blobbular look to the spokes. The gamepad directional buttons and then the 3 below it floating in space with rounded corners screams cheap.
Moving on to the shape of the vents. Their shape loosely follows the outlines of whatever is around them, but they don't contribute to the overall detailing at all. They look like after thoughts. Okay we need vents, take the area around it, offset inside by 1 cm, and that's the shape of the vent.
On to the centre console with a big swath of aluminum colour area. Aluminum screams technology you know. Once again it's shape is a wishy-washy blobbular kinda of round half circle thing. Then we get to the controls. Those awful stereo controls again in some blobbular shape. They don't look like high end hi-fi, more like youthy boombox. Same thing once we get to the aluminum around the shifter. And what's with the i-drive clone,
again?
etc. etc...
The high level idea is good. I can see what they're trying to accomplish. But down at execution level you see their inexperience. When it comes to expensive hardware, it's all in the little nit-picky details.
G37 looks to be a fantastic car, and very roomy for its compact-ish outward look. But I have NO idea where you could say G is "generation" ahead...
As per the above explanation. In terms of interior styling / design / excution, the Genesis is a few generations behind. It would've looked new in 2002. But we have moved on.
Hmm... You gotta admit. Design is a subjective thing
Agreed
