How do you judge the aesthetics of a car?  Do you make a trip around the body of the vehicle, looking at all the finer points in the sheet metal, then step back and look at the thing as a whole?  Does beauty for you lie under the hood, where a bigger, more powerful engine means more inherent magnificence?  Generally, when someone talks about a "gorgeous automobile," they're talking about one of those two things, but you know what these definitions often leave out?  The inside of the car.  You know, that place where you spend literally all of your time with the vehicle?

And let's face it-we've all been in a number of different cars in our lives and not all interiors are created equal.  According to WardsAuto, the 2013 Dodge Dart, to be released later this year, and the 2012 Chrysler 300 are two of the best interiors in the automotive business right now. 

To come to this conclusion, Wards looked at the 40 vehicles released for the 2012 and 2013 model years that were either brand new (like the Dart) or significantly updated (like the 300).  After giving all of them careful consideration, the models above were named among the website's Top 10 because of technology and luxurious features usually reserved for a higher class of vehicle.

We agree 100% that these two models should've made the list, because these are two of the classiest affordable vehicles in San Antonio. New Jeep Wrangler and Chrysler 200 interiors, however, are pretty high on our lists of great interiors as well, but we'll save that argument for another day and just enjoy an accolade that we feel is much-deserved.

Because like a lot of people, for us beauty is on the inside.
