The wood in this Audi Q7 interior looks a bit strange - I really like the modern feeling of the Audi's interior.....having said that, it might be a little bit bland without the wood.

I love what Audi is doing with wood right now. I feel that, amongst the Germans, they have the most modern handle on wood selection and how to present it in the cabin.

I give BMW a big nod with their "boat panel" designs, but I feel that the selection of material leaves much to desire with the less pricey models.

Sorry Roberto, I messed up because that's what I've been trying to say. Bourgois was the wrong word I guess, hehe.

Let's stop using confusing French terms and say what we're really thinking: Yuppie and Sleazy-Rich.

High-end luxury car wood and leather interiors don't necessarily have to look old-fashioned - I actually don't think the Phantom's interior is old fashioned at all, the overall effect might hark back to days gone by but if you look at the details, there are many beautifully designed and very modern aspects to the interior.

1967 Rolls-Royce Phantom V (James Young version) - classic Rolls-Royce style.


Rolls-Royce Phantom: Although the overall impression is classical, there are many very beautifully modern details about the Phantom's cabin.


These are wonderful interiors - there is nothing old fashioned about them really - they are beautifully made using exquisite quality materials - this is not fake luxury .....it's the real deal.

Oh OK warot, I'll delete that post.


Bourgeois is a French word referring to the middle classes - particularly the upper-middle class.

Although there are exception, I generally prefer my car NOT to look like a log cabin... so no wood for me.

Sorry to say it but I don't think that the wood inside that car looks good, it looks really out of place and doesn't blend in with the rest of the interior. Out of the three German giants MB is probably best at incorporating wood into their interiors.

BTW I love the picture of the Phantom with lime green leather and paino trim. Do you have any more pictures of it?

eeeeeeeeek....this is ridiculous...lacks what is generally called 'character'....

I agree with you on that Lu, the wood does look a little bit out of place. The wood accents definately fit with Mercedes interior design style better than in BMW and Audi.

I can only find one other photo Lu - I'm pretty sure it's not really lime green, I think that's just the lighting - lime green sounds fun though
