hmmm yep, 3 o 4 times, always in a C Class, BUT, always with the 4 armas steering wheel.

I know, you´ve got a C Class and you are going to say me that its steering wheel is good for yo, dont you?.

The c-lass has the same steering wheel, and when you're sitting in front of the wheel you don't care about it all it.

I hope the W212 will have chrome on the lower part of the steering wheel, just like the ML/GL/R. Because it's exactly the same steering (different from the C, the lower arms have a different angle) but we don't see chrome on the mules of the E-Class.

And really, the steerings of the C may look a bit weird on pics, when you sit in the car you don't even notice it, it's not bad looking at all IRL (and I don't drive a C-Class).

true there is family semblance accross BMW and Audi ranges, but no dashes share full elemnts between them, threr are always more then subtle differences, while here almost half the C class dash has been copy pasted

Subtle differences? Get real. This is an A5 and an A4 interior. Stop with the nonsense, everyone shares interior parts within their lines, to cut on costs.

A4


A5

It's more the fact that an expensive E shares some visual components with the less expensive C that is criticized here. A5/A4 are almost the same price.

However I see no problem with sharing some components. here it's the on-button for the radio... Not even the other radio buttons (and the climate-buttons are from the S-Class)...so it's completely untrue to complain about it. The C and E share very few components that one can see, and all other brands do it. Audi even has only one steering from the A3 to the S8.

Well the A4 and A5 are more closely related than the C and E.

yeah thats unfair..cause the A5 is like a A4 coupe..
but on the other hand a CLK has never looked that similar to a E class..so i rest my case..
and like shown in that beautiful drawing ..
there are only 1 knob and 2 buttons that are the same..
so i guess we can give this a rest now

PS
But yeah Audi does not do well in a argument like this..haha lol

[bum-man]

Vabboud and Klier are just a little dillusional because they are so distressed at the way the F01 is turning out.

Anyways these two interiors look nearly identical and you don't hear a peap from the BMW gang about it, because they're near PERFECT ...LOL! What I find funny is the 3er interior looks more premium that the 5er, to put it mildly, pathetic!
