You have got to be kidding me...

Who fills out these surveys? Toyota fanboys?

Toyota interiors are so plain and boring and they're not even that ergonomical or well laid out. Plus, after really checking out Toyota's at the Geneva Car Show I am really not impressed with their interiors. They use a lot of silver-colored plastics which looks "better" than matt black plastic but it's still the same flimsy plastic that just "looks good". I thought Mazda, Honda and Mitsubishi had excellent interiors when it came to Japanese cars, especially Honda. Toyota interiors were full of large panel gaps compared to the other Japanese brands I just mentioned and their designs were just God awful. I hate having the speedometer and important data positioned on top of the center console...
