agree, interior is very unimaginative. Steering wheel can't be uglier. Front is very nice, rear is so-so, too Lexus LS-ish. | | | | | Trendsetter

Looks good, but frankly, not gorgeous. And the interior is very disappointing. Waiting to see the car in the flesh though.
For me, the A8 still has the more elegant look. And the S-Class looks more massive, and almost more modern next to it. The interior has a not-so upscale dash, and the doorpanels are not very clean.
I'm being honest here, not biased at all.
I love the clean side, don't like the rear lights (the flowing bit is not fitting well) but like the rest of the rear, and don't like the big kidneys and bland headlights. Overall, a nice-looking car, but not class-leading design. | | | | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to coolraoul For This Useful Post: | | | Aficionado

you guys are missing my point.
I am saying this 7er interior looks very bland and dated compared to what we have been seeing come out of the design studio -- BMW has gained a reputation for outstanding design -- if any brand could get away with ground breaking design it is BMW. This is why I am disappointed with the interior.
The new Audi will, once again, show everyone how its done. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to SDNR For This Useful Post: | | | GCZ's High Court

Interior from concepts you cannot expect to see so early, you'll see it later. Interior of new 7er was probably been designed and approved way before CS popped up.  | | | | | Advocate

The top part of the dash reminds me of the new Honda Accord.
The profile of the car looks good, though a little high off the ground. I do like the character line.
The front looks boooooooring.
The rear looks as if it were inspired by the Lexus LS. I don't like curves in the tailights, don't seem to fit the rest of the design of sharp creases. Why they got all organic on the rear lenses doesn't make sense to me.
The interior I would like to see more pics of. | | | | | Trendsetter

^ I see,now u make more sense  ,i agree the 7er interior should've never looked like X6/5 it should've been like S and A8 ones,unique Quote:
