    Anyone else wondered why the interior's plastic texture is missing from the left and top right vent frames? The main right vent frame's texture matches the surrounding area, but the other vents have plain surfaces. I looks unfinished.

    Interesting. Looks like poor design.

    Darn, I missed that thread. At this point I'm assuming all GenIII models are similar, but will be checking out some other models next visit to the dealership.

    Hmmm, Interesting. Maybe it's just to break up the monotony of the sand paper texture. It's not enough to bother me.
