Honest question - does anyone really think this car will ever get a real interior redesign? I don't mean minor changes, I mean actual makeover. I think in order to keep costs down, it's going to be the way it is for the run of the car.

That said, I would just like a little more thought put into some extra storage space. I've never been one for fancy "spaceship" interiors. I just want the important stuff to be easy to see and access. But I do need more storage. The "bin" under the climate controls is a joke. The console is the worst of all worlds. If anything, I'd like to see a functional arm rest. I was going to install the aftermarket one, until I realized it would remove the only place I can store my phone (right next to the outlet).

Also, fix the damned stereo control pad on the left side of the steering wheel. The Toyota version is a joke. Buttons are too small, don't register input well, and if I hit "+" more than twice quickly, it throws my radio into chaos.

I'd love to see the head unit are angled toward the driver (like the tC), but I don't think there's a realistic chance of that. Simple, cheap interior is one of the things that keeps these cars under $30K.

So to summarize: make a real armrest, make bin big enough for a phone, fix steering mounted stereo control, and I'm good. Oh, and if you want to kill the analog speedo, that's fine with me.
