Is it me, or is the gauge cluster (speed/tach) just a little weird?

The interior is awesome! The honest truth is that most who don't like it are old enough to remember terrible 70's blue interiors. They cringe the same way I do when I see kids wearing Ed Hardy shirts today. To close the loop, the same people who hate the blue interior probably also have Ed Hardy shirts in their closets...from the first time around.

I get that some people love that hideous interior, and a percentage of those that love it are secretly trying to convince themselves of it, but the reality is that 90% of the people hate it, and for $85K, i should damn well get to pick what interior I want.

I wept a little when I saw that hideous interior. I’ve been trying to talk myself into it on an AMB truck, but it is truly horrible. It appears a 13 year old girl works in Ford’ interior program.

Likewise, the tach and speedometer are horrible, another 13 year old child’s idea. Put proper GD analog gauges in there where they belong. “What RPM is the motor turning?” 1.8.

WTF

That blue interior is the modern day version of "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black."

100% agree. I thought that maybe an AMB truck would make that interior tolerable to me. But no... this confirmed that its not feasible. I showed it to my wife, and it took her .03 milliseconds to say 'NO f'n way'. She said if I buy that I will regret it every single time I get into the truck.

thanks Ford for ruining my Gen 3 dreams!

I swear if the R comes with that mandatory sh itt blue interior, that I will drive straight to the TRX dealer.

Are you saying that people over 40 are too stupid to understand class, style and sophistication? Maybe you should do a little research on how your ancestors cared about appearance and presentation?

See these people... Great depression, trying to find a job and look how much effort they put into it. Your Ed hardy sh it is laughable.
