I don't know about that man. The S-Class interior is pretty bad. The 7 series and the benz remind me of a pimped out Buick inside...BLAH!

BUT, I think it looks pretty good...they just need to stop making new models and stick with a series.

I agree about the S interior. Materials and everything are first rate, but the design of it is absolutely horrible IMO.

That said, I know many disagree.

The interior looks a lot better in that dark color, compared to the concept's white trim. That said, the styling isn't good looking to be sure, but it certainly looks "solid."

Slowly losing interest in Mercedes. What a shame.

First thing you notice in S-class interior are those two big plastic storage compartment doors at center piece. That is a bad thing for flagship luxury car. Too bad you always get flamed when you say something like that.

Fortunately they fixed it on CL, now that is a gorgeous interior that you could appreciate.

Remember the question "can the star emblem get any bigger?"

Apparently it can :\
