Nice update from the world leader of design.

Looks good to me. Just wish improvements would be made quicker. Better late than never I suppose.

Awe damn, you back again. Things were getting civilized around here.

It’s a nice looking interior, but nothing groundbreaking. It seems that most interiors (and exteriors for that matter) are getting pretty homogenous in their design.

Let’s not let GMnumberone4ever ruin this discussion. Please ignore his comments.
Thank You

Very nice. I hope some of these make it into the next generation corvette, along with quality materials.

^^nice choice of words, and i agree

Just get off your ass and start making desireable cars before we loose our entire automotive industry like England.

the sts looks very classy…

good job gm, lets see if it feels as good as it looks.

Very nice improvements! They are responding well, but never quite quick enough to the market. Unfortunately, by the time they get these out, others will have moved on. Still, it’s a huge improvement and nice to see GM making progess and addressing these issues.

That dashboard looks very similar to the Infinity Ms and Qs. Nice nonetheless!

Very nice. Just keep going.
God job GM

That rear view mirror rocks. I’d want to watch a movie on it.

Wow, it looks very nice. I like the update.

I agree Whiplash. This is a great looking interior. Hopefully this quality design will permeate throughout other GM lines. Buick desperately needs it.

As for GMnumberone4ever. I don’t know why you guys give such a hard time. It’s pure comedy, very tongue-in-cheek. Someone once posted that you have imagine someone like Steven Colbert is saying it. I laugh every time I read his posts.

I find it comical, but it ends up offending a bunch of people and leads people to retaliate with comments that are just negative and off subject. I would like to have everyone at peace on here regardless of what brand you favor.

Never thought I’d like a key and fob this much. LOL.

What gorgeous steering wheels. I wonder if any of them will make production. I like the current Chevy/Pontiac steering wheels, but I really like these ones; very classy looking for the most part, IMO.

Also, that key fob and rearview screen are amazing..

It doesn’t quite feel right to me. Maybe its because so much of the business seems nearly thrown in the drivers lap. The passage side looks utterly empty. A bit more detail on the passenger side or less on the driver side I think would work nicely.

Otherwise it looks great… if a bit unbalanced.

Thought the exact same thing about the key fob, the steering wheels look great IMO. I just hope this stiff actually sees production. I always get my hopes up just have them come crashing down when they don’t make it into the final products.

Wow, what an improvement. I’d love to spend any amount of time in these interiors. Very easy on the eyes. And the key and key fob look awesome! Talk about some style where you’d least expect it. Way to go GM! But I agree, the C7 Vette better have an interior design as good as the ones we’re seeing here.

Nothing better than technology for technology’s sake.

Just like the 8 speed transmission from Lexus, and the 8 speed tranny BMW is working on? If GM wants to compete with Toyota its not going to be good enough to just match what their doing, they need to one up them. They have their work cut out for them, as they have a lot left to do. So better looking/felling interiors, more gadgets and technology is needed just as much as quality and reliability.

These are sharp!

I still don’t think I like the vents on the STS but that’s just personal preference. The quality seems to be much improved.

Cadillac, too, is working on an 8 speed auto.

The layout has been getting marginally better but I agree, not quick enough. GM can pay anyone ANY amount of money so I don’t see why they still can’t get interiors right. The quality of the plastics that have always been way below the Germans, and Japanese. Why do they keep using this crap? It’s shiny, hard and has an overall low-rent feel. Not to mention the overly soft seats that completely lose their support in 2-3 years. Same with the switches and instrumentation. My wife had an 04 Envoy and the interior was junk…my 01 Landcruiser is WAY nicer…albeit more basic. That said, these designs look nice, I just hope they use high quality plastics.

I think that the trunaround GM is in the middle of at this point is nothing short of stunning. They have come such a long way, but it should not be forgotten that they still have quite the journey ahead of them. GM is definitely on the right track and if they keep going like this I’m sure they will America’s #1 for a long time. They are not only (as sad as it sounds) rediscovering design but also quality.

woah is that really a GM? It looks real sharp! I like the opel steering wheel the best though… to bad we wont see it

The problem is that the key and the fob are two separate pieces. While most automakers have moved onto the 1 piece fob + key, GM seems to still make cars using the same rationale that they used in 1983.

Jon.

Wow, cool

Nice but not outstanding in any one area

Please stop with the iDrive style control systems.

Looks like GM is finally learning from the Japs on how to design a flowing dashboard.

GM’s current boxy dash’s suck ass.

This is a HUGE improvement to the STS interior, a HUGE improvement…but yet it still looks like it lags behind the competition, whereas before it was seriously slaughtered by the competition. I can’t deny it, it’s one of GM’s better interiors, and I’m glad they’re focusing on improving them because interior quality is something I and many others hold in high regard, but like someone else said these changes just come so late.

STS interior = pretty nice
Keyfobs = nice
Steering wheels= just drawings, so can’t judge as materials would have a lot more to do with how nice they are.
Mirror thing = dumb. Can’t we just use a regular mirror anymore? Are we that stupid or careless? What if it breaks? Then you are screwed.

homeboy, you define douchebag.

Beautiful!….about friggin time!

Finally, Way to go GM.
I agree on the steering wheels golf4me . But still headed in the right direction. Keep up the good work.

i never saw a rear view mirror that i admired before. good stuff.

didn’t like the opel wheel (looks like a diaper in the center compared to the others). and what’s the last one, behind the buick one. looks like it has a screen on the center

the mirror looks like the DivX Player, but in a good high-tech way.

i love the whole camera with an lcd screen where the rear view miror should be idea…now u dont have to continiously clean the rear windhsield just a small camera lens….GENIUS!!!

Left to Right, Top to Bottom it looks like:

Saab, Chevy, GMC
Opel, Camaro-based generic?, Buick
Cadillac, Camaro, Hummer

man i like the new desighn keep it up gm ur doing good!

The Caddy steering wheel reminds me of the new Acura wheels.

They key and keyfob is soooo hot! They all need to look that sexy!

someone with the id chevy 490 is supportive of a new GM design? WHAT?!

This new STS dash REALLY looks like an Acura TL dash. It’s almost the exact same.

this us what gm needs. they need to build cars that are atractive and desirable while at the same time making them more reliable than other manufactrers. u gotta spend money to make money, the acountats in the 70-90s ruined the big 3 with their penny pinching.

I wasn’t expecting this much praise for GM products at this site, but I must agree. It’s nice to see GM continue on its quest for excellence. They’ve had a few missteps in the recent past, but overall they have been improving by leaps and bounds.

^^that just shows that we are not GM haters…we give credit were it’s deserved.

I prefer the G8’s interior, the top picture just seems so old man to me

mabey its time to upgrade to the sts, i was waiting for the awd cts, this young man wants one bad bad bad, im sold forever on the “NEW” cadillacs.

Syrax: No, people hate on GM when they deserve to be hated on, but when they make good steps forward like with this improved interior, then the hating clearly will cease. They get a lot of **** because they deserve a lot of ****, but not on this article at least.

bingo lambo, gm is getting credit when credit is due. there is a long way to go for gm still, now the cadillac line and the mailbu is just a stepping stone. when i sit in a cobalt and it is better than a civic then gm has finally succeded, but to their credit they have started.
when all of the old men at gm are finally retired and it is left to our generation then we can really expect miracles from them, the old men have no vision there, they are acting now only because they are (were)failing to adapt.

purdy

Very classy and elegant. It’s about time that the powers that be at GM finally realized that it’s best to let the engineers and designers build the cars and not let the accountants nickel and dime the products to a point of mediocrity.

If GM does decide to buy Chrysler, I hope that they turn their interior design team loose on the entire product line.

I don’t understand why rearview cameras haven’t made the rearview mirror a thing of the past long ago. I’ve seen this on concept cars since the late 80’s yet every body still using mirrors.

Nice, but an LCD REARVIEW MIRROR! Now, that is just overkill….just use a regular damn mirror!

An LCD mirror is just one more thing in a technology-laden vehicle to break down. And it will….count on it!
