I believe the interface designation is important. While the instance is 
being passed I think it's important to explicitly designate what is 
expected despite behind the scenes. To refer to another members car example 
- an Interface is not a Car - it's a CarInterface the "class Car implements 
CarInterface" OR "Ferrari implements CarInterface" not FerrariCar. However 
"Ferrari extends Car" would work if "Car implements CarInterface".. Seems 
like Interface (despite what's passed in it's place for arguments) helps 
eliminate other otherwise different naming conventions. Doesn't matter if 
you pass a Car or Ferrari or FerrariCar on your end - the argument must be 
a CarInterface - which makes the naming convention pretty important in my 
book.

I also personally use purpose driven naming for other classes 
CarCollection, CarPresenter, CarModel so CarInterface makes the most sense 
in my mind. I believe it lends to cleaner more organized code.

Hopefully this makes sense ^_^
