The last car my dad had before he died was a 2001 BMW X5 4.4i, and that thing had so much wood trim it wasn't even funny. Now, if you look at the '06 Lincoln LS, which my mom owns, it has some trim on the steering wheel, above the glovebox, and that's it. The rest is just gaudy aluminum, which many high-end cars are now sporting. Also, there is a big decrease in material quality. WHY?
