Nice thread and wonderful dashboards.

Forgetting the dash's in latest gen cars, could someone post those uber cool top 10 dashboards from old time classics and vintages.

Those Chevy's /VW's/Ford's etc etc.,

swift8847 · 10th October 2009, 23:36

Amazing dashboards. My pick would be the one in the RR.

Cyrus43 · 11th October 2009, 00:06

Has Anyone seen the one in the Panamera?? its SWEEET!!

sohail99 · 11th October 2009, 00:48

Wow!!

BMW 7-Series's 'Night vision with Heads Up Display' sounds amazing!!

I heard that they were also integrating a obstacle/pedestrian detection system in it??

Great thread! The Honda Insight dash looks like a Winamp skin. Amongst the desis, I like the Captiva's dash. Looks similar to the first picture on this thread.

nairrk · 11th October 2009, 09:34

Great pictures !
Who knows, in the future what other gadgets are going to be included in the dashboard.
May be very soon car dashboards will looks like a aeroplane's cockpit?
Thanks

What are the criteria? Design or equipment? IMO, design is something that is relatively cheap but can make a car look very cool. Look at the Civic for instance!

@ Sohail "I heard that they were also integrating a obstacle/pedestrian detection system in it??"

The whole car will blow up if this was implemented in our country. The whole road is full of obstacles. But trust me even I like the BM's comsole.

nice looking dash board but one needs to verify how good they look in broad daylight..

Btw the baleno has the best dash board I have ever come across, I own it & I love it..
