I agree. Right now, forward design isn't coming from the ultra-luxury brands, but is eminating from middle-class brands like BMW and Audi. It would be breathtaking to see a brand with Audi-like priorities take on the Maybach/RR segment.
Unfortunately, the audience has yet to develop for such things. The world of ultra luxury sedans is still rooted in traditional expressions of wealth and prestige. I imainge it'll take quite some time for us to see truely modern interiors make their way into the super-luxury league.
Take luxury wristwatches for instance - Modern designs don't sell particularly well, unless there's an established history behind them (60s/70s vintage modern, for instance). Rolex, on the other hand, is able to sell their staid and stodgy watches at high volume, and at very high prices.
