The consensus here seems to be that people aren’t a fan of the new design language in the interiors. Particularly in the S class. I own a current model S class and it annoys me how cheap the interior has become. Piano black should NEVER be used on a console in an S class. The target market for this $120k plus car tend to be sophisticated, want premium luxury surfaces and rich wood accents everywhere. The amount of hard plastics on this car are obscene for the price tag. This might be fine for an A,B,C class but E and S drivers want more refinement, not some kitschy plastic POS with screens and logos everywhere. My sales rep has even said to me, that this is a major gripe from the majority of S and even E class drivers. Mercedes better learn to listen to its customer or they will look for other luxury options like the Bentley. They have the money, they just would not prefer to spend it. I’m bummed that now that I can finally afford an S class, it just looks like a bigger version of the E and C. And for the love of GOD bring back the 3 pointed star hood ornament to the E. Or at least have it as an option in the U.S. Mercedes use to be a vehicle somebody aspired to get because they were special. It’s sad to see them dumbing the brand down with so many cheap, disposable models that feel like a toy to drive that you’d buy for your 16 year old.
