Identify this manufacturer based on a single picture


interior.jpg

So what's the make and model? And don't cheat, if you find the original picture, don't link to it. I am curious to see what the crowd thinks it is. Oh and when you leave a comment, you will notice that Ryan updated a few things this weekend. Among them, he added an avatar function. Head to gravatar to set an account up (it takes less than a minute) and any site that has gravatar function installed will showcase your pretty face.

Aha! I found it.
But I won’t say anything, except that I’m pleasantly surprised.

Hmm Looks fairly wide/spacious.  New Town Car or Crown Vic?  I give up.  :

bryan:  I think you’re on to something.  A closer look at the steering wheel shows some kind wide/narrow design (could be the Chrysler ‘wing’).

I know what it is, too, but I’m a smug bastard, so I won’t tell.

Brand X has had that center dash section for a while now, and was the dead giveaway for me.

Audi Q7, based on the single button in the middle, size of the vehicle, and the signature audi computer placed between the speedo and tach.

i’m going to go with hyundai based on the fact that almost any other manufacturer with an interior that elaborate would not have an ignition lock cylinder that looks like it’s from the mid 90’s.
it is a very nice looking interior though, whatever it’s in.

I AM impressed by Hyundai’s new interior; unfortunately they still have aways to go before consumers stop seeing them as a ‘second class’ automaker

“I AM impressed by Hyundai’s new interior; unfortunately they still have aways to go before consumers stop seeing them as a ‘second class’ automaker”
This is because the way they define themselves now is ripping their designs off of other manufacturers previous vehicles.  There is no signature Hyundai look, as found in other automakers.

Nice copy, but that’s all they will ever be it seems.

You got something to say ?
