  1. No I don´t think it´s just you - In some aspects it becomes duller, since it leaves a lot of surfaces empty or bare - And for normal cars where the materials are decent but in general average it all get´s a little dull since the layouts are still more or less traditional. One would have to study e.g. the BMW i3 to see how to utilize this more minimalistic approach in car interior design and create another kind of feel while avoiding being dull at the same time. The i3 is actually a real different approach since nearly all materials are very eco, recycled and sustainable - so it is more than just a visual design achievement in that respect. But it also creates a quite different feeling than e.g in a normal BMW or similar car - it´s a new era and many people above 35 will feel slightly alienated for now. But I think there is still hope that the Interiors can regain non dull feel, but it will take some more time before the traditional layouts in the average cars will be changed in a more radical way - but this is what the new interiors will need to avoid the dullness that comes with less manual and visual user interfaces. Looking back at some of the old American cars from the 50´ they actually also had a lot of bare surfaces without them feeling dull as interiors - But just think about how much chrome, leather, painted metal and wood they had. The screens entering the cars now challenge the interior designers in many ways. Tesla S is a good example, it´s a great cabin but many people will fell that something still is missing compared to it´s "rivals" which is really matured segment cars. At least we are still seeing pretty cool solutions in the high end markets, think the new interior in the Lamborghini Huracan is pretty cool mix between digital and manual and keeping a clear DNA wether one likes it or not. The same goes for Ferrari and many other exotics - And they must show the way in this and hopefully inspire other designs down through the segments. Another approach which we might see from VW in a few years time is some very rugged, raw and edgy interiors - this might be a viable approach too withut becoming exactly dull. But yes atm the moment the transition from a normal Dash layout to digital is not the prettiest and you are right - it really tends towards the dull in many cases. Still though there are also cars on the market where the button clutter is way off. Porsche has stayed with the manual layout and they do it rather well. Don´t know if you ever where in a European Honda Civic from the latest 5 years?, but IMO that is actually a really interesting Dash Design, well balanced between screens and manual interfaces.
