The design is fine as I stated previously; very elegant, with some interesting yet restrained lines going on, but the materials look and feel cheap once you run your hand over or get a good look at them. The leather gets all wadded up, the cloth/alcantara seat inserts don't stack up to other examples I've felt, and the seats themselves, while supportive, are on the squishy side. The dash materials are the biggest shortcoming imo.

Not dissing the car as a whole. It's fucking brilliant, and definitely competitive. It just isn't a leader by any margin on the interior front imo.

Have to agree , I sat in it in the autoshow and was really disappointed. The seats didn't feel good at all , and the dash was OK.
