The Aurora's influence on the Alero appears to carry through to the interior as well. Like the Aurora, the Alero interior is a solid design. Everything seems natural and sensible without being ordinary or boring, a difficult combination to master these days. Instruments are large and legible, located under a deep, curved hood. Audio controls are positioned in the center of the dash above the climate controls, where they belong. The climate control layout uses rotary switches, a familiar design that is elegant and easy to use.Interior colors, textures, and shapes reinforce our feeling that Oldsmobile's design team benchmarked every Japanese car in the segment as well as some of the domestic competition. It looks rich and expensive inside the Alero and fitment of the pieces was remarkable in the GLS Sedan we drove.
Blocky in design, the Alero's seats look similar to those found in many GM vehicles, but they provide good support when cornering. Interior space is comparable to other cars in this class and my 6-foot, 4-inch frame was comfortably ensconced.
