Well, I will. The interiors of Japanese cars are well put together and lacking in parts that come loose or fall off in the first few years, as well as having controls that are logical, fall readily to hand, and have good tactile feel. Also good-looking materials and decent design (with some exceptions). None of which were things that you could say about most American cars until recently, and still not for quite a few models.

So when I got in my buddy's Lexis and the window button fell out in my hand when I touched it, that's a quality interior? And logical is where the button direction is sideways for an up-down window function, that's logical?

GM is still doing their door locks with a left-right switch, how does *that* make sense?

Are you sure you didn't do a little bit more than "touch it"? ;^)

What kind of "Lexis" was this? How old? So that one car had a small issue - every GM I've been in in the last 20 years has had execrable interior materials and stupid control layouts (like the left-hand turn signal/wiper control/cruise control/God knows what else chromed lever about an inch in diameter and everytime you moved it it felt like you were breaking a chicken's neck - fortunately gone now, but hung around far too long).
