I see that after using light pipes and such to make LEDs look more uniform, stylists are now trying to make them look more like separate LEDs and are literally putting black paint over the lenses... the inside reminds me of the Chevy Celebrity and early Avalon in its straight-line drabness. This is a cheap car I assume? Designed for LHD or RHD by moving the steering wheel and the dash-mounted cluster?

I find it aesthetically actually quite nice for what I assume are major cost savings, vs, say, the old Echo.
 
It looks upscale outside.I didn't realize it was your own rendering! Nice.
 
If I had called this the next Highlander, what would you have thought?
I would have thought the interior was nowhere near where it should be. The exterior matches.
I don't like massive grilles but that's where Toyota is, so it's perfectly consistent.
I thought it was funny that the original Avalon, a high end bigger Camry, because they had hired so many GM people, used the Chevy Celebrity dashboard ;) or at least something quite like it. The main feature was being perfectly straight end to end.

On a higher-end vehicle I do expect to see physical climate control and “radio” buttons.
