Starting to see a bunch of the new Sclass cars and it looks Amazing in person, much better than the pictures.
To me it looks better than W222 and has better road presence. I do prefer the interior design of the W222, I can’t stand the cheap ipad gauge cluster.
MB did it again - it looks modern, luxurious, and just exudes class. The ones i have seen were all S580s with the V8 which shows that buyers demand the V8 in this class.

and yet millions of people love them. also, 'furnace' is relative, ALL cars get hot in the sun.
i finally found a decent article that ISN'T just talking about the temperature of the exterior paintwork (which is irrelevant).

so less than 10% hotter. no big deal.

Do Black Cars Get Hotter?
According to one study, the average difference in temperature between a dark and a light-colored car came to about 10° F after an hour. The study was done with both cars in full sunlight.
So, black cars have been found to get about ten degrees hotter. But the fact is, if you live in a place where temperatures regularly reach 95° F or hotter, it’s going to be hard to keep your car cool. No matter what color it is. At a certain point, ten degrees is not going to be much of a difference: hot is hot.
According to a study done by researchers at Arizona State University, the interior of a silver-colored car reached 116° F after an hour. The outside temperature was 100° F. While a black car in the same sun may have reached 126° F, the fact remains that getting into a hot car is uncomfortable no matter what.

Mercedes usually uses MB-TEx on the door panels and upper dash. If you pay more, usually there is an upgrade to Napa leather on those areas.
