other stuff like inputs, presets, etc? or just volume and mute?

that's what the command button is for. after certain point it just becomes compromise, either more buttons or different procedures.

I think automakers are taking the "evolutionary" design route in this segment because buyers don't want radical design changes to these cars. The basic shape looks pretty good from what I can tell just like the new LS.

They were good at copying the 7 series interior for the first model, so what happened here?
A return to their past S class interior designs?
