Remember that the recaros are now heated and cooled, but you are right about the la-z-boysThe interior is 15% away from being a run-away hit. Itâs not even on the design team, itâs the bean counters at Ford. Their sketches sell the ideology behind the changes, but whatâs missing are just a few key elements:
⢠new seats (the sporty shells pictured are totally feasible and are remarkably similar to something youâd see in an Elantra/Veloster N for instance, but weâre stuck with the super basic seats from the S550 and the same Recaros that weâre introduced in the S197 Boss over 10 years ago. They want a modern interior thatâs more driver focused but weâre still getting the La-Z-Boys)
⢠new door cards and paneling (they donât match the changes made to the rest of the car and you can tell because thereâs zero flow or continuity from the dash to the doors)
⢠a display that looks upscale (black levels, bezel size)
⢠some kind of brightwork to enhance the dash and make it stand out
Literally just new, more upscale looking seats wouldâve gone a long way.
Not gonna lie, theyâre excellent and strike a perfect blend of comfort while giving awesome lumbar and lateral support. Theyâre definitely better to daily in than the slightly flashier and more aggressive shells found in the 350/500, but they do look dated, especially when other companies are releasing awesome looking buckets. But yeah the heated/cooling function is dank. Finally.Remember that the recaros are now heated and cooled, but you are right about the la-z-boys
Propaganda crap
I think you mean the orientation looks terrible. The screens themselves are actually pretty high quality with good black levels and resolution. The only thing I would change about them is the bezel - a little too big for my liking.I really want to like this car, but cannot get past the hideous dashboard, the screens look terrible.
