I don't see a lot of Audi/BMW in there. Looks more Lexus/Mazda to me.

If the instrument clsuter is straight out of so many vehicles I suppose it could be said that I'm using words that are straight out of Shakespeare. And I would be correct. But that does not make it criminal. Would the SL be accused of having its cluster "straight out of" the SLK. Or the R? Or the G? What about the Z4? Nobody owns the rights to bezzeled instument clusters. EVERYBODY is doing it. Why not add Nissan to that list? And Mazda? And Lexus?

But this interior is merely nice though. Nothing particularly pops out at me, and nothing is wrong with that either. I do care for the gated shifter (very classy) and I notice the absence of a central handbrake, indicating the presence of a foot-operated parking brake, something that I actually prefer in an automatic. A very European-looking accelerator pedal is a nice touch as well. One improvement though would be to make the dashboard with stitiching. Faux or otherwise.

This is rare I find, but the center stack actually recalls the exterior styling. Very cohesive.
