Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

I don’t understand the enthusiasm about the interior of the AMG GT 4 door. An all screen dashboard, a silly glass roof, open cupholders and a non-leathered airbag cap on the steering wheel. The metallic looking parts, I’d first like to touch and feel before judgement.

Presentation matters if you're cost cutting.

For example, new Audi interiors you can tell at the first glance the whole interior is enshittified and plastic. Here we have some interesting materials being used as well as trim pieces and colours which take away from some of the 'obvious' cost cutting

But this is a flagship AMG EV on a completely different tier. Comparing its interior materials to the newer mainstream Audis doesn’t really make sense...

Just giving an example where presentation makes a difference.

I must say the new GLC EQ has shown that Mercedes once again for even their midrange cars is adding in some more metallic finishes and interesting wood and other trim panels on the center console and taken out the piano black plastic trim which looks like they paying attention to customers comments and reducing the impression of cost cutting. The seats also have a new diamond pattern which all looks alot more expensive.

Sure this car is more expensive car and except for the screens everything else in the interior looks a notch up in quality even against the SL/GT 2dr interiors, which has obvious cost cutting on the center console and door control panel.
