1996 Retro Interior Compro

[Justin Bimmer]

Cadillac

(with the STS wood)

BMW

Mercedes

Lexus

Lincoln

[Justin Bimmer]

I think BMW had a major redesign that year.

If the Cadillac had less black plastic.

[FAPTurbo]

That Lincoln interior is HAWT!

[Intrepidation]

BMW, hands down.

[Justin Bimmer]

That Lincoln interior is HAWT!

He who votes for Lincoln is not well

[Farkas]

How did the Lincoln get 9000 votes? Haha.

[Justin Bimmer]

How did the Lincoln get 9000 votes? Haha.

I don't know, good thing it has not surpassed 9000

[!!!TED!!!]

I vote Lincoln!

Thats a bad picture you posted.

Its all about the driver-leaning center stack, and sweeping IP that flows into the doors!

Exterior styling wins it for me too.

[Z-06]

Fixed. Apparently Mr. Bond wanted to rig the poll.

The major redesign, the e39, came in 95 as a 96 model. I'm pretty sure that was for Europe though as I have never seen any e39 earlier than 97 here.

I may be biased, but the BMW interior, even with the horrid 4-spoke wheel, is far and away the best interior of the bunch in my opinion.

[Justin Bimmer]

I voted BMW too, but Cadillac is 2nd.

[Camino LS6]

Can't say that I like any of them very much, but I'd give BMW the nod.

BMW > Caddy > Lincoln > Lexus > Mercedes

[Camino LS6]

BMW > Caddy > Lincoln > Lexus > Mercedes

Agreed except I'd flip Lexus and Benz.

Not that it matters much, both are terrible.

[regfootball]

wheres the olds aurora?

[Intrepidation]

How about the LHS?

[cletus8269]

it may be homely and plain but i'd like to slide behind this dash one day...

[CSpec]

I remember that Cadillac wood. Zambrano or something like that? They put it in everything before their current Art and Science thing I believe. I think it's actually legitimately very expensive wood I think from Africa? Anyway I always liked the STS interior and vote the Caddy.

[daves87rs]

BMW, hands down.

+1

You and me both.

Hmmm ... a Caprice ...

[Delta Force79]

Lincoln, it was different for the times and style wise would still make for a great interior today. However the fit and finish and materials do need work. Do this style dash with Ford's current crop of high quality interior plastics and such and you have an awesome interior, no doubt.

[cletus8269]

speaking of lincolns, on my way to work yesterday two chicks (driver was hot as the car sounded) pulled up beside me at the light. was listening to the radio and heard a angry exhaust, started looking around for it and was surprised to find it coming from the V8 lincoln hehe... i was lookin everywhere for a mustang gt or an fbody. sounded goooooood.

1. Lincoln (I've always liked how the Mark interior wraps around the driver, even though materials aren't the best)

2. Lexus

3. Cadillac

4. LHS

5. BMW

6. Mercedes

I'm not digging either of the Germans' interiors at all.

What year were the Lexus, Caddy and Lincolns updated?

That W210 E class interior looks horrific compared to others. If I remember correctly that car was released in 1995 or 1996 - so if other cars (except BMW) were older than it, the age should have shown. However it is contrary to that.

[frogger]

Another car for comparison..

1995 Audi A6
