I'm a sucker for a really cool dashboard, a la the dashboards of the older Thunderbirds and Gran Prix's. I sit behind the wheel of one these cars, and I find myself wanting to buy the car, no matter what's under the hood! Yup! Pretty crazy, huh?
I see pictures, in the magazines, of the dashboards of even some of these new luxury cars, most recently a photo of a Black Edition car, and I'm puzzled as to why the dashboard is so boring! Wouldn't buy that car just because of the dashboard!
Am I the only weirdo that let's a dashboard design factor into a car purchase? Please say no!
I think the stitched look is getting a little out of hand, especially with GM and Toyota. I wonder how well it will hold up over time. Another thing I hate is the tablets stuck onto the dash, like in some newer Mercedes, and GM is doing it with the 2016 Malibu as well.
Fleet, that interior looks dangerous! If you get in a wreck in that thing you can kiss all of your teeth goodbye.
You can thank the popularity of Japanese cars for the boring dash designs of today. That's my opinion after watching the changes over the las 30 years. To me, the dash design is more important than the body design. I have to look at the dash, and use it, more than I have to look at the body.

Can you show a picture of a “boring” dash? They are pretty jazzed up compared with just 5 years ago.
I don't know where you've been looking, but many of today's dashboards look great and their a lot more safer !!
