ab-b Ward's 10 Best Interiors released, Asian automakers take 7 of 10 spots
Filed under: Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, Design/Style, Ram
Step inside just about any new car these days and you'll quickly see that vehicle interiors have become a pretty nice place to spend some time in. For the third consecutive year, WardsAuto sat in each and every new vehicle that had received redesigned or updated interiors, and it has now named its 10 Best Interiors.
Judges look at everything from design and fit-and-finish to comfort, safety and technology. Some of the standout selections include budget cars like the Chevrolet Spark and Kia Forte all the way up to more expensive sedans like the $60,000+ Cadillac XTS and Lexus GS450h. An interesting note here is that WardsAuto praises Cadillac for its CUE infotainment system while Consumer Reports generally lambasts the system. Asian automakers definitely won the contest for nicest interiors as the list is comprised of five Japanese automakers and two South Korean, with Toyota and General Motors in a dead heat with the most number of cars on the list with two each.
Scroll down for the full list (in alphabetical order) and press release from WardsAuto for its 10 Best Interiors of 2013.Continue reading Ward's 10 Best Interiors released, Asian automakers take 7 of 10 spots

Dodge ram and kia forte interiors look bland and shitty. I can personally vouch for the mazda 6 interior though. Every single surface feels like a padded bank vault.
No Volvo S60 love?

That steering wheel position man, oh my god
Anyway. It doesn't matter if you hate the volvo 740 from thirty years ago. That's like saying you don't like hyundai because the stellar was a pile of sh*t. Look at how phr3sh, clean, and simple these interiors are. What a pleasant place to be.
Also the alfa GTV/spider gets an honourable mention for style if not quality.
