ok guess I'll be the positive one here. I think that dash is a HUGE step forward from the last gen. I dig the design just not in the silver..it's way too bright

The design beats the current layout, but that isn't saying much. It's still a long way away from the threads in the Taurus. And that sheen showing up in those photos does not give me much hope for materials usage. Maybe the 300 will take things up a notch.

The 2011 Chrysler 300's interior has been teased. It actually doesn't look too bad -- much better than the silver sea of plastic found on the interior of the next-generation Charger.

That may indeed hold some promise.

It's certainly better than the current poor effort, but still a long way from the '10+ Mustang

I wonder if the Challenger will get a new interior, too, then. The SRTs are due the new 6.4 Hemi soon, so that would be a logical time to give it an updated interior. They can leave the outside, that's just fine

After owning a couple Magnums, my only significant complaints were the use of too much hard plastic.

Ergonomically, everything worked very well. This new interior looks like an improvement over the existing interir. In particular the steering wheel looks more fitting to the car's character. Moreover, the NAV placement looks very well thought out.

With two tone fabric on the doors and seating surfaces, and polished bezels, I don't quite get the "it looks cheap" statements, but to each their own.

I say thumbs up.

While I can't speak for everybody, I think the "it looks cheap" comments all point to the painted silver plastic found plastered all over the dash.

Yup. That's what looks like 'cheap' to me.

I think if the palstic was dark instead of silver it would appear much better.
I did a very quick chop so check it out

I think they got the idea when I drove my 07 GT/CS in a lot to look at one while I was inside all the sales staff out checking mine over lol

Nasty!

Maybe Chrysler will drop the truckesque front ends someday.

If the car salesman opened the door of my mustang and said "hey look inside" and this was what I seen.. I would fight him.
