^He looks diabolic.

Swarovski produced the eight crystal air vents.

The interior continues the airflow theme with flowing sculptural and graphic lines wrapping around the interior. The cabin is accented by illuminated blue lines, the color of which symbolizes efficiency. Most of the interior controls have been integrated into three dimensionally curved glass digital display touch panels.

Mercedes commissioned Swarovski to produce eight crystal air vents which change color from blue to red depending on whether the climate controls are set to cool or warm.

It would have been great if Mercedes had used the center console of this concept on the production dash for the E-class, with touch panels for the climate adjustment. It has a more high tech look.

^ Might be reserved for the midcycle update, or the CLS etc? Some Es may receive the Concept IAA's flat touchpads already.

Then we can surely expect the touch controller in the S Class FL and touch screen maybe new CLS?..

 

[mercpassion]

So the FL S Class didn't get the new touch pad (which is a shame imo), therefore I'm betting on the new CLS..
