Actually, there's a small spy interior picture in the magazine. Much can't be seen, but to my eyses, it looks sleeker and cleaner.

Is it possible to post the photo

Wow one big screen will be very interesting to see, I wonder if they will blend the current 2 screens into one longer screen.

 

[Rolf]

True, I just try and config one in the Spanish website. Much better with the three spoke wheel. Then I guess the only change needed is the scree one.

EDIT: Btw, is the AMuS you have read the one that compares the new 340i against the C-Class?

I know this is off topic but I would love to read the comparison in new AMUS with 340i and C400 4-matic, will you be able to scan this in for us @Mick Briesgau?

Not sooner than monday, Rolf. My secretary has to do that for me. If someone else hasn't done that before monday I'd be happy to do so

I noticed the 3-spoke steering wheel popped up on the US configurator for the AMG models. Thank goodness!

Been around for over two years and the car still looks Majestic

Would've been a real problem if it wasn't, 2 years is nothing.

I have high hopes of the single screen with improved graphics. This seems like a significant amount of change for the facelift; don't remember previous models having anything close to this amount interior updating. Screen, scroll control, no more clown face steering wheel, and since mine came w/o cursor control and hud, will feel pretty different inside. Throw in 9G and new front/rear fascia and lights, gets me excited about switching in 2018...

Seems I am in the minority of those who likes the S class steering wheel.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I like it. It's a bit unique and makes the S a little special.

I assume this is the pic Mick told about:

W222 Mopf/FL.
Read in the AMuS that the facelifted S Klasse will have one large dashboardscreen in stead of two seperate ones like it has now. The steering wheel will feature little 'turnwheels', which makes you able to scroll through a menue. Mopf probably end of 2016/early 2017.

I don't mind it at all. I actually picked up an S550 a while ago and its great. I just wanted a 3-spoke on the AMG models.

I'm with fortuner Besides, every Benz has a threespoke steeringwheel, only the S-klasse has the twospoke steeringwheel.

 

[DjordjeC63]

S also has three spoke, on AMG package I think.

 

[Rolf]

I agree with you guys, the 2 spoke wheel is pretty unique for the S-class and I kinda like it, it also harks back to the classic models from yesteryear. The 3 spoke wheel is better suited to sportier AMG models.

 

[Rolf]

Ok lets compare current S-class dash and 2 screens with new spy pic model.

I noticed on this spy model that there is no shiny plastic separation between the instruments and center screen as in the current production model.
