I've grown pretty fond of the no-nonsense, low gloss, low maintenance, beech dash--it's Scandinavian modern for the car. One recent professional reviewer called the 9-5 interior "Swedish kitsch" and that is pretty much on the mark. The plain dash complements the funky shape of the air vents as well as the a-symetrical curve of the driver's side instrument panels.
People are right, it does look like plastic, but there are such things as high-end plastics. The replacement shiny dark finshes look exactly like the ones in our company's mid-management Chryslers and Buicks. I think if people are really so concerned about getting Wood, they should 'upgrade' to a Jag Van den Plas (or whatever they call that pretentious car), or go find an early 90s Mercedes SL.
