The interior......

M
I dont like that baby poo light brown, doesnt look high end. Imagine white with red piping or red with white and some other interesting combos. They could be more adventurous with the colours
 
Good but they can do better… I love how the cayenne gives you a violet and olive interior option for not that much money… where are the oranges, blues, yellows etc???…

You can get blue, red, and a couple of browns on the GLE63. They'll also do special order off menu interiors for you but you will pay dearly for it.

I don't know about Manufaktur but individual can add 6-8 months to the build time. This can be a turn off if there is delivery mileage car on the forecourt that the dealer is coercing you into buying at a 10-15% discount.

Of course, but if you want bespoke you have to wait at the end of the day.

Do they offer Manufaktur/Individual for the E and S classes too?
Personally think Merc should offer it for every car level - particularly the AMGs (assuming the buyer is willing to pay) - even the A-classes (maybe limited to the A45s)

While it wasn't individual, Mercedes offered uplevel quilted interiors in the W205 C-class. Very low take rate as it's a different type of buyer. Manufaktur is available on all top-end models (so yes on the S-class).
 
This is a very comprehensive comparison and both cars have advantages and disadvantages over each other.

Will be interesting to see this major FL. The current vehicle design is so sound, it looks as good today as the day it was released.

The interior could do with a refresh though.
I think they should leave the outside alone except maybe some refreshing of the light graphics. The interior needs a major uplift, but I hope Mercedes dont mess up the door panels and include the cheap looking black piano black door trim and the capacitor seat controls on the doors.
 
Came across this GLE63s with 215,000 miles (346,000 km) for sale on FB marketplace. Pretty impressive and a testament to how reliable the M177 is. The owner mentioned to me all miles are on the original engine.

I am just trying to imagine how a Chinese interior will look after it's driving a quarter of a million miles @Rolf

The Mercedes looks as good as new that's for sure.
