Please... someone go to that link and click on the two in-car images. Once they zoom up, look at the textures around the AC vents, on the steerwheel and the A pillar and tell me if there are a bunch of jaggies. It looks pretty bad -- maybe my computer? The small images -- not blown up -- look pretty good but are too small to really get a feel. There, that's the blown up image. I realize it is cut off on the right, but the jaggies are freakin everywhere in this picture. At first I thought this was an actual screen, but I think it is some kind of artifacting from the scaler they are using to "blow up" the image when you click on it.

 


Now I'm sure you mean well, but taking a smaller picture and making it larger is going to distort and pixelate it. You've basically just went out of your way to make the screenshot look worse so you can use it in your argument. We'll have to wait for pictures with a higher resolution so we can see more details and be able to zoom in a bit to really be able to judge, but so far they look awesome.

What's funnier is if you download the original image and the one you just provided, they're the exact same thing when you view them and no distortion is present (except that the letterbox has been cropped out).


 Duh, I freakin know that if you blow up an image, it ruins it.  I assumed that the site above was posting a "thumbnail" of a larger image and the "blow up" of it was not a blow up but showing it actual size.  That is, in fact, what is happening.  If you click the blow up and then save the image, open it in a browser and click the magnifying glass it gets bigger still and the image is then very, very clean and nicely detailed.  I've answered my own question.  Something about the scaler they used on that site distorts the image.  I take back my "color me unimpressed".  The images are great when they are shown properly.
