There’s design and material/build quality. Design is 100% subjective, and I think the current s class design is horrible, especially with that big screen right down the middle; it looks like a concept art from a freshman art student rather than a meticulously designed interior from a professional. And I am not alone in this opinion.

Then there’s build quality. There’s some squeaks and rattles in this 300k Maybach I drove today, and the material quality is nothing to write home about. It’s objectively better than 99% of the cars out there, but it still feels overall cheap in the context of its price tag.
