Anyway, the topic is the new interior and I like it.

True. A "Mustang guy" isn't the same as a "guy with a Mustang". I work w/a guy that swears his old '87 GT was the best car he ever owned. Now he drives an Accord (so much for loyalty).
Maybe Hyundai isn't tageting the 'stang at all. Maybe they're looking to take sales from Nissan and Honda.
I have more concerns over Camaro/Challenger, and am amazed at how many people are ready to abandon the blue oval over them.

Even though its off topic just to clarify a few things for you guys:
-The Genesis Coupe IS replacing the Tiburon
-It WILL NOT come with the 4.6L 375HP V8 that powers the sedan version
Carry on

Folks,
The Genesis is a 4 door luxury car. They are clearly after the Porshe, BMW, and Mercedes. With a V6 starting price tag of $31,000 I don't know how this thing will compete with a Mustang.

I see where they talk about it in a SEMA show. But nothing else. Is it still some concept idea? I found it finally. Sorry. They show a lesser warranty.

Tiburon = sub-200hp sub-20k cheap sporty compact.. no current replacement
Genesis Coupe = decent hp RWD sub-35k sporty car.. first of its kind for Hyundai
The Genesis Coupe is competing in a completely new arena for Hyundai.. it's their version of a g35. Not a Sentra SE-R (similar class as tiburon)
But yeah.. new mustang interior looks great.

Wow...2010 and still no automatic headlamps/daytime running lights...we've only been waiting...what? 45 years HAHA. Looks like dual zone climate control is finally present. On the other hand, I guess audiophiles will be pissed. It doesn't look like ford gave you any room to fit an aftermarket DIN radio or regular radio for that matter. Even if you got rid of the display, you still have the controls lying around. Tisk, tisk, tisk.

I actually think they are less safe than people make them out to be. On a bright sunny day, they diminish the effect of a turn signal. The effect that the orange light would normally have is shadowed by bright sunlight and headlights combined. At least once a week I see a car with DRL signaling to turn, but I wait a couple of extra seconds before pulling out into traffic just to verify that the turn signal really is on.
I just don't like how they look either.

My opinion is that I'm glad that Ford didn't jump on the daytime running light bandwagon.

On a sidenote, DRL's have been mandatory in canada since I got my license, and not once have I ever had the problem of seeing if someone is signaling or not regardless of vehicle. I don't trust signals anyway...

A lot of new cars (liket he Charger) that have a feature that turns the inboard light off while the turn signal is on.

It really looks weird when you see it.
I had a charger follow me once (guy I worked with)
Thought...'Hrm..I should tell him his front headlight is out'
Then seeing it came back on when the turn signal was off... then it did it again (and I put 2+2 together
)

The problem I have with DRLs is people who forget to turn their running lights on as it gets dark. The DRLs provide enough forward lighting that some folks don't realize they have no rear lights on, and are virtually invisible at dusk and beyond.
One answer for that would be to expand DRLs to include rear lights; another would be to require automatic running lights and not allow them to be turned off if the vehicle is running and in gear.
Just some thoughts...
