have you looked at an BA XT dash and a base model XR6 dash... it is 90% the same but I do know where you are coming from. I think the interior is much nicer then the ford dash. I also cant get over how cool the proxy keys are. you never even need to touch the key to unlock, then start, then lock again. Mitsu and Subaru and come along way with there interiors. but still have a ways to come when you put it next to anything coming out of europe.
