Is it just me, or is the interior extremely cheap looking? Especially compared to the Zephyr's interior? What's with the vast expanse of gray plastic?

I seriously doubt it's plastic...looks like the rubber/vinyl/leather-like stuff used on my dash...But I'm suprised...that interior design does looks pretty bad.

Also, the way that dash layout is design and the way the top portion sweeps up to the windshield, it looks like it would be a bitch to see over the top of it. Looks like you'd have to sit up pretty high, in which case you wouldn't be able to see the gauges very well due to the giant overhang they've got.

I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt for now and call bad angle.

The gray portion of the dash looks to be of higher quality material than the current dash. It looks very German and substantial, though I could be wrong... generally I can tell from pictures.

The roofline is trying too hard to be sporty, IMO. It should be more proud of its historical land yachtabilities.

rear headroom looks tight. I obviously would prefer a more upright, slightly for formal roofline.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The roofline looks about as low as the '96 Mustang I rode in, and with me at 6'4", it was a PITA. This looks to be one of those cars where tall peoples' heads will be bumping the rear window.

That's a pretty ugly three-spoke, too. Three-spokes are for sporty cars, not boulevardiers.

That center stack is just... ugh.
