What's your actual question? Are you talking about the upholstery on the seats, the center dash, or the gauge cluster? The Evo has a purpose, and the G35 has a purpose. Don't take a G35 mentality into an Evo purchase. The IX has better interior than the previous 3 years, so I don't think there's much you're going to improve.

Not really. Double DIN conversions have been done but it's not easy and won't be as slick as the G35. It's not a luxury car, it will never be a luxury car, I sense you won't be happy with one. Just wait for the GT-R to come out and get one of those. Also the Evo X is rumored to be snazzier. Maybe that's what you should get...

The interior is all about function. Everything there is necessary. IMO I like the idea of slender plastic versus big bulky doors or dashboards. In an infinity or similar car your sitting in a more comfortable loungy chair versus your no holds racing seat with all manual adjustments. Guess its all what you want in your car!

You can do a lot with this "racer car", where it counts. In the engine/suspension/drivetrain.
I know some of these posters really get offended, or try to justify the interior, but plain and simple fact is that it does suck ***. You don't buy this car for the interior, just like you don't buy a G for power/handling.
There is always trade-off's in a cars particular qualities when you in this price range, however if you want one of the best handling cars available with excellent power and aftermarket, then you must take a hit somewhere. That hit is shown in the interior.
The G is a pretty good balance overall, but there are plenty of cars in it's price range that will blow it's doors off. As well as car that will whoop it on an autocross or road course.
It really all depends on what you want.
