Audi A5

The A5’s interior was nice, but it doesn’t live up to the high standard of interior excellence usually set by Audi. It felt sterile.

The onboard computer was quick and easy to use, however.

MMI knob.

Audi A3. It looks a bit too boy-racer-ish.

Audi A4

The A4’s interior seems dull. The assembly quality is high but the materials, shapes, and colors are stark.

The Audi A7, with its truncated rear deck and dramatic proportions.

Audi A3 interior.

Audi R8. Up close and personal.

V10

Audi A8

The A8’s pop-up LCD with MMI interface.

Stunning little details everywhere.

Beautiful mocha brown seats.

Porsche Panamera

Odd badge for a Porsche

Land Rover LR4

New Range Rover Evoque

Stunning and attractive.

The Jaguar XF is quickly growing on me.

The XK is showing its age but still looks fantastic.

Jaguar XJ8

Jaguar XJ8. Beautiful piping on the seats.

Jaguar XJ8. Wide expanses of wood, exposed Bowers and Wilkins speakers.

Fine stitching.

Lexus LS430. The carpeting is a bit thin for a high-end luxury car.

The LS430’s stitching has a lot of odd imperfections and bumps.

Nice gauges, nice infotainment display.

Beautiful matte wood trim.

Some of the panel gaps were garish and ugly.

Not crazy about the “door panel on top of a door panel” look (it swoops up to the B-pillar). It comes across like an afterthought.

It looks like a panel of leather was glued to the door. It doesn’t blend well.

BMW is emphasizing white power.

BMW 7-series. It’s not exactly pretty.

The center stack is cold and lifeless.

The center console is nice thanks to the diagonal meeting of wood and stitched leather.

6-series convertible. Looks like a Sebring.

The new BMW X3.

Its MUCH nicer inside than before.

Feels and looks almost as nice as the X5.

The X3 was once a joke, a crude, poorly made compact SUV for badge snobs without taste. The X3 is a massive improvement.

No one cares about the Infiniti JX except these two old guys.

That’s one unfortunate face.

I asked the model/presenter if there would be a V8. She said no.

Infiniti EX.

Strange slats in the dash give the impression of pillowiness.

Lumpy and imprecise stitching from Infiniti.
