Thread article featured on the GERMAN CAR FORUM main page.
The veteran automotive designer spoke.

You criticized the S Class, but now you're constantly praising it. You claim this screen layout isn't suitable for this class, but is a screen layout with huge, awful bezels really suitable for this class?
It's certainly better if the screens are integrated into the cabin as a single piece. The design offers flexibility and fluidity. The thick bezels are unsightly, but it doesn't change the overall result. If you find the screens hanging above the console stylish, you need to retract the negative comments you made 10 years ago. It's puzzling that you don't have a single negative opinion about the passenger screen, which looks like an afterthought.
 
The shape of it is gorgeous. Basically a complete improvement over the outgoint 8er, which I imagine this is a replacement for.

Interior is a disappointment.

What he means is that the S-class FL interior is bad but still better than 7er Facelift interior. Do you get it?

That's entirely your personal perspective. Design is a subjective concept and varies from person to person. You might like the interior of the S Class, which is perfectly normal, but not everyone has to think that way, right?
 
Indeed. So why are you so upset at this being said?
Leylandi's goal isn't to like or dislike the design. He has an aggressive attitude towards everything related to BMW. Everyone has different tastes and may or may not like designs. But for Leylandi, BMW has become completely hysterical. If BMW did the opposite today, he wouldn't like that either.

Here, you are the one waging war against our personal point of view and constantly attacking us, but...

Obsessed. esp5 (aka dalab), with whom you were constantly interacting, always tried to change people's minds. He believed that anything other than the information he provided was false. This tendency still continues. It seems funny that you're attacking us while surrounded by people like that.
 
@leylandi stop abusing the report function, if we were sensitive to that which you report you'd have been perma-banned years ago, I suggest if you don't want combative responses to your deliberate trolling, don't deliberately troll.

@McLaren64TR all you are doing is fanning the flames of thread derailment, this isn't much better than Leylandi's troll posts.

Discussion about the car is generally much better than discussion about each other.
 
Well, I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong, and this doesn't look like it's 8-series based. If the the length is 5.2m, then the wheelbase is somewhere between G68 and G70 (i.e. Longer even than the 8GC), or it's in the ball park of Rolls-Royces aluminium architecture. It might not be an 8 underneath, but I still can't see them making a production variant if it's not based on something readily available - I hope they do, this is definitely in my top 5 Alpina Coupes - right after the B8 4.6, B7S Turbo, B12 5.7 and B6S.
