Dozens of manufacturers keep making this mistake again and again. They try to make it look nice and it always ends up looking cheap and cheesy. Mercedes tried it this year in a couple of models (C-Class and CLA-Class) and they failed in both cases. C-Class has the complete center dashboard made of this stuff, while CLA has it on the upper part of the central console. We can only imagine what it will look like in a couple of years if it looks like this now.
