In pics it look ok, if you remove the strange shiney leather and the strange shiney "gulp" thing actually replacing the wood/alu...
Waiting to sit in it, though, before my definitive judgment.
Strange, they put so little wood/alu in the C and so much in the GLK... Couldn't they have been a bit more fair?

However, i don't find W124 accents in it. Sure the upper side of the dash is inspired, but the whole is very different. The W124 has a very simple, relaxing layout, the GLK not really. So for me, no real W124 accents.
@ Germaniac: honestly, if the new E had the very same interior as a W124, I would be happy as hell...I love that interior. You sit and you're at home!!!
It is what I like about the new C: it looks spartan, but I feel at home in it. Everything's simple and feels solid.
