Saw one of them parked outside work today - what an eye opener - never seen an analog speedometer that goes diagonally across the dash :eek:
 
A design porn, indeed!
Here is another one:

So cluttered.. reminds me of a space shuttle interior..

IIRC, this CX dashboard is, indeed, called a "shuttle dashboard" by English speaking CX fans. It is called "UFO dashboard" in Czech ;)

Just for the hell of it, did you mean this Alfa dashboard?

That Alfa dashboard looks like it was bolted onto an Alfa 75 centre console complete with whacky handbrake now being copied by others.

Yes that's it! And I think that black thing on the bottom right corner is the handbrake, right? Such a classic car it is :worship:
 
First pic you posted, a Citroen CX GTi by any chance?

Yes, it is - Mk1, the one with steel bumpers.
Similar dashboard was used on Mk1 BX as well.
Both are extinct species by now...

Following are photos of another interesting interior - Studebaker Avanti designed by Raymond Loewy. Note the "aircraft" layout and look of the controls.
