Wow!..... opening the article and seeing that hideous Sonic photo destroys any credibility this list might have had for me.  ::)

The Sonic interior looks like what Fisher Price would come up with if they were asked to make an auto interior for tweens...."transformers, more than meets they eye".........

IIRC didn't the Camaro win some kind interior design award at one time? Just goes to show there is no accounting for taste.

Audi A7 though :bow:....

I think the Sonic has the nicest interior of any sub-compact vehicle currently on the market.

If that's true it doesn't say much for sub compact vehicle interiors.  ;D

Agreed. Looks very nice in pictures. The Dart interior looks very nice with the red trim too.

Agreed.  This is the SRT-8 interior... but like it a lot.  Like the whole car a lot...

the CX-5 really? i mean i have yet to sit in one yet so maybe i'll end up eating my own words but from pictures the interior looks like a design from the mid 2000's.

Range Rover Evoque inside is honestly nothing special, interior fails to carry on the excitment from the exterior with exception of the pop-out shifter that is ripped straight from jaguar, and whats up with that "rough grain" leather/leatherette covering the upper dashboard, all 3 evoques i have sat in had it, and they didn't appear to be basic models or some special trim line?

A7 is a good fit on this list, frankly i'd be surprised if there was no Audi on this list

Lastly, i love that phrase in the last paragraph of the article, "human-machine interface".

Below is A6 - almost as nice (except for that pop up nav panel which I assume is also there on the A7...) the A7 is i think the nicest i've seen anywhere

Oh yeah, but the Euro buckets and flat bottom steering wheel were awesome.  The last generation of RS6 Avant is my dream family car.
