The best looking dials on a dashboard I have ever seen is the dashboard from the Saab 9000 CSE.

This isn't exacty what I remember, but close enough:

I love the green and orange colors, the car diagram, the turbo, temp and fuel dials are just great.

Granted I was a kid when we had that car, but the colors were beautiful

I have two thoughts.

Damn thats beautiful and Saab as in the guys who made jets for various European nations during the cold war? Is this a Toyota situation where they make cars as well as military equiptment.

SAAB Automobile is the company that built the cars, their parent company was SAAB AB the aerospace and defence company that is still going these days.

SAAB Automobile was sold to GM back in 1989, and the SAAB 9000 series was produced under GM leadership
