2008 Honda Accord Ugly Interior

Well, they chose to retain that stupid central knob as you can see. And so the Accord continues to be the ugly duckling when it comes to interior. Who knows? Once we see more, maybe it will gain that title in the exterior category, too.

I have a '99 Accord, it has a very nice interior and controls.

I agree that the central knob is ugly and I don't like that the radio cannot be easily replaced (on the '99 it's a standard 1-din radio).

I like the NAV unit. It is recessed so it will minimize sunlight...

I like the interior overall...good ergonomics...

I don't like that recessed NAV screen. I know why they did it, but the design is damn ugly. The whole upper dash shape is sickly organic.

I guess they didn't study the 5-series interior well enough, cuz it's still miles ahead.

I personally think the 5 interior is god looking. Lexus is extremely strong too. I love the new LS especially. That's a land barge!

I'm not a fan of the look either, but I will admit that it is very funtional. The knob alows the user to scroll through functions quickly and with ease on the information screens. Toyota has incorporated some of these in cars as well as other manufacturers. The look of touch screens are alot more appealing, but safety and functionality rule with the use of a smart knob.

That central knob on the accord looks like a hard nipple in a cold breeze. And I LOVE the i-drive.
