The Hyundai of the skies is most certainly the embraer.

The Airbus is the BMW and the Boeing the Cadillac. Airbus follows the Euro phillosophy. Plenty of electronics and fancy technology to do the job. The Boeing has always been very basic. Like a Cadillac. Crude, but they do the job.

I much prefer the Airbus flight deck. It's a nicer place to be sitting on your arse stretching out for hours on end.

The Boeing might be a little nicer to hand fly, but it's such a small proportion of the flight I'd rather be comfortable for the rest.
