Haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about, but I’m Dutch, so speak for yourself.
As far as I know W223 isn’t offering HUD as standard as well. But now it’s offering two kind of HUD as extra. The “poor man’s“ version and the “premium“ version. Why not one HUD in the best iteration. It’s an S we‘re talking about... Reminds me of the pre FL E class: E63 and an E63s. The E63s would have been sufficient and to the point. It seems the only reason is, to have an excuse to get even more of my money.
Obviously you never owned, driven or sat in a W222. In base trim it did have real wood (at least just as real as all the other wood options): dark brown eucalyptus wood. The standard seats did have real leather (non-nappa). I think you’re mixing up the W222 S class and the E class/W213.
Well that’s quite arrogant and disrespectful to say about someone you don’t even know.
You don’t know what I believe or not believe. But in denying W222 in base trim has leather seats and has wood but in stead plastic look-a-like as you first stated, says all to me.See, this is the problem. You believed that some sort of guy who hasn't have any experience in this sort of cars it talking to you.
I've been working for almost a decade for Sixt rental as a key account manager. I have to do with the big european OEMs every day. The S-Class is our business. We use this car for our management, as a rental or for VIPs.
I remember in late 2013, when the first 222's hit our HQ it recieved mixed emotions, because of the overall "cost-cutting" when you don't go with sky-high add-on option. And yes Sir, the base trim does not come with real wood. It's plastic that uses some sort of a "printed" cover that does look like wood. Ash tree, gum wood, oak tree, and so on. All wood inlets do look like the same and have the same optical marbling. That doesn't happen very often in mother nature, does it?
@S600 any idea when order release (Bestellfreigabe) is planned? Can’t take too long, now the first cars allegedly should be on the road in November.
I suppose Daimler (and all other German manufacturers) has special versions for the rental companies, that are not officially offered.See, this is the problem. You believed that some sort of guy who hasn't have any experience in this sort of cars it talking to you.
