Some pictures from the Motortrend review posted in the other thread

The interior is nicer than anything else Mercedes makes that doesn't begin with an "S."

if only they had found a more elegant solution for the Nav display! That interior would have been flawless otherwise

Today I was on a local Mercedes dealer and had the chance to see the new W205…

I see all the "baby S" comments…but when I entered and looked at this car LIVE (not in pictures) I have to say one thing:

FALSE

It looks great,it feels great, but it has NOTHING to do with W222…by far

But,it is the best car in it's class

F hell.. this is so extemely above anything else in the class... its not even funny..

To my eyes its the best looking MB interior.. Even better looking than the S..

Lol...How dare you???

It looks fantastic, but the S-class flawless.

So...
Initially, when I saw the FEP of the S-class couple of years ago, I was rather hesitant with their design direction. I thought it would too roly-poly and jelly bean-like. To me, a Mercedes-Benzes are best when they are not fussy and are rather austere, i.e. W140 S-class. I thought the upward swage line would be too trendy and will age badly.

Boy, was I wrong. The S-class and this new C-class just look brilliant, inside and out. The only criticism I can see is that after-thought of a screen, but even that can be overlooked when you have an interior like that. I would seriously consider this over a 3er, and I did not think there'd be a day I would say that. Ugh, maybe I am get too old.

Agreed. I also fee that MB's implementation of the touch pad is a tad too chunky and I don't think it will age well. It remind's me of a wireless presenter that people often use when doing doing a presentation.

IMO, BMW's implementation is much cleaner with the touchpad being built into the iDrive controller.

But other than these two minor gripes, I reckon MB have put a great looking interior together.

2 days ago I tested the new C


The touch pad is very good ! you can use it in all kinds of stuff,including menu navigation

It has a "click" , so you can have a physical response from your clicks

The text recognition is good. But to be honest,it is kind a slow,because after every letter you enter,it says what you wrote,and this means time,and time is wasted

Saw the new C today here in Birmingham, must say it is a beautiful looking car. Strangely though it had NL plates.

 

[Pagani]

How come MB makes a standard-kit car with the sport grille but not an AMG-kit car with the traditional grille? I find the sport nose weak and reminiscent of a Mercedes van or R class.

This ambient light color really looks amazing. Somehow it reminds of the water color at Miami Beach.

A small shame the light doesn't wrap along the bottom of the entire wood trim piece on the door.

 

[sucu123]

Maybe that's because if it wrapped along the entire trim it would dazzle the rear seat passengers at night?
