How is this "German"?

Also, I've said it before, the interior of the Lexus IS is overrated IMO. It's a good interior, but it's not all that it's made out to be. IMHO the Audi A4 is the best in this class hands down and has the edge over the Lexus.

And how does the Lexus interior have "flair"? It looks like your typical Japanese high-tech interior, kind of cool, but at the same time bland and uncreative. The Lexus GS has the best interior design from the Lexus brand, IMO.
I agree.

The Lexus interior is nothing special. With cheaper plastics the design would be very much at home in a Corolla. And the space is miniscule. The MB design on the other hand still has a sense of occaision about it. The detailing is far superior to the generic Lexus dash, and I'm sure the materials will be also be excellent. Best interior in the class IMO, at least untill the new A4 lodges.
