New NG CTS Pic

[jbartley]

new interior shot seen on Autospies.com

article doesn't say much we didn't already now, but the pic gives a much broader view of the dash and interior layout.

Nice find. It appears this one has some wood, whereas the other one we saw didn't have any. I really like how the wood just sort of accents the metal on the door panels.

cool, can't wait to see what all it'll have when it's shown....i'd guess at naias?

[carstar]

random stuff to say:

auto shifter looks like it comes from a solstice and the interior door pull from a DTS.

great interior!!

Did we get a DNR on them yet?

this dash KICKS the crap outta the "new" G35, upcoming C-class, and probably the 3-series. (although the BMW diehards "love" that dash setup for some strange reason)

Leave it to me to nitpick, but hopefully they can match the color of the darker material surrounding the vents and center stack to that of the light-colored dash. Achieving this would decrease the clutter and add to the design's cohesiveness as a solid dash, not one made of a bunch of pieces (hint achieve the illusion). Otherwise, looks great! Keep those beancounters away!!

I like the 2-tone dash. Gives variety. Sometimes a single color starts to just look like they didn't want to bother changing vats of plastic material for their parts forming...

Whats with the phone? Its huge, is it one of the old green screen Nokias?

Very cool.. can't wait to see better pictures. Love the leather-stitched dash!

That looks very well put together. Kind of weird since it's not supposed to be released until late next year.. Maybe we will see a early launch maybe summertime?? Interior looks a hundred times improved Now hopefully they don't leave little things out like in the escalade!!

Wow! GM is getting it. Can't wait to see the car in person.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It looks great but a little busy/pieced together. If the vent color was changed from black to tan it would look more put together, only if the side vents were changed.

I believe the entire center stack has a metallic finish to it, hence the "mismatch."

I think they were almost DOA.
