[QUOTE="figit, post: 15099468, member: 155939"] There has been an immense amount of coverage on the overall improvement of the interior design but not much is said about the actual material and finish choices. Can those of you who came from the previous generation comment on material selection for the new interior? Are they superior? I've since sold my 2014 and even though it was well cared for, I couldn't help but notice how scratch prone the cheap plastics were and how thin and delicate that satin gray finish was on most of the accent pieces. This blurb from Car & Driver leads me to believe that they steered clear of improving the quality of the materials in favor of a complete design overall: "Typical of any new-car program, the Mustang’s interior-design team developed two different concepts into full-scale clay models before settling on the final direction. The first, an evolution of the outgoing car, placed an emphasis on premium materials. The second, which ultimately inspired the production car, conveyed an aircraft theme with a long, wing-shaped span of aluminum stretching from door to door." Does this mean they killed it in the design stage but didn't improve the actual materials and finishes? I'd love to know how it has held up to some real world use. Thanks! -Mike [/QUOTE]
