Do you like this car interior/dash?

When it comes to style alone I can understand how some people would like the look of that dash, even though to me it's way too garish.

Perhaps GM is making amends for all the years their products were the worst offenders in the "The entire interior looks like all of it was molded from one sheet of dull grey plastic" fad.

But, maybe because I'm old-school about driving, I don't get having an automatic transmission in a "sporty" car. Real men drive sports cars with stick shifts.

Dad... ?!?
Seriously though, sports cars have been sliding down the slippery slope towards greater creature comforts ever since MG chose to fit *gasp* roll-down glass side windows to their new MG-B in 1963.
Also, knowing now what car this interior/dash belongs to, I'd say that it's designed to look sporty rather than to actually be sporty.

Okay, that may be a bit hyperbolic but you gotta admit that having a tach in an automatic is almost entirely about looks and not much at all about function. Even with my stick shift Miata, I only use the tach occasionally.

Agreed. A tach in an automatic-equipped car is every bit as useful as tits on a boar.
