I reckon the new steering wheels look excellent in person!

There is a HUGE amount of component sharing from the E-class interior.

The lack of wood is a bit troubling, but we'll wait and see...

I'm not a fan of the newer MB steering wheels myself, though the rest of the interior looks really nice. I'd never take wood inlays in a coupe, though... even if it is Mercedes

To me it looks like the same steering wheel in the facelifted CLS, which looks great when you see the finished product.

It was speculated that the new CLK and E would have night vision as an option. Do you guys think this instrument cluster shoots down that idea or would they have two completely different versions available? Hope so!

The new E will have night vision as an option, we can see the camera inside the car in the spy photos.

i dont think it would be safe if it was in the command screen as it should be straight in front i think it would be distracting to be driving and looking either to the right or left and could cause a accident but with the clk instruments from spy pics i dont see where they can put it....

So the CLK will retain the gearshifter stick. Good to see!

But I also feel disappointed that the CLK didnt get a more bespoke dashboard....................

Looks like the air vents on the E class are used on the CLK, but inverted.
