Survey of Late-Model Dashboards

It’s very interesting to me how attached we become to our vehicles. How we carefully choose just the right model, color and packages that we end up spending lots of time with over the course of ownership. We have intimate knowledge of all the features, tricks and nuances of our cars, that sometimes we assume everyone else shares the same experiences. When I ride in someone else’s car, I’m intrigued by their interior – the design of the dash, the gauges, the illumination, the sound system, the ergonomics. Here is a quick peek into a bunch of popular vehicle’s interior dashboard design. Conclude what you will…

    Nice collection! My favorite was my 2002 Suzuki Aerio’s with the the digital speedometer. The whole vehicle had a rounded triangle motif by Italdesign. http://dashkitone.com/Suzuki/2002AerioStainless.gif
    I totalled the electric yellow one, and travelled to PA to buy the same exact version in racy red. (also totalled) Oh well. :P

      Yeah Nik, that was a unique sled. Didn’t know all about the triangle motif. Love that!

    Maybe I’ll add on to this blog post series with a set of dashes from the 90′s, 80′s and 70′s, after I publish a bunch of posts currently in-progress.
