After the massive fuss made about cheap plastics, both by SteveH and the presenters of top gear, I was massively disappointed to find out that "soft touch" is the rubber paint that flakes off the interior trim of modern VWs. I had imagined that perhaps the dashboard was covered entirely in the stuff gel wrist rests are made of and clad in a sumptuous fabric which still maintained the appearance of black fabric, and that one could comforabtly go to sleep on a VW dashboard if you were suitably small of stature or in a Phaeton.
