Anyone else disappointed with the GLK interior? - 01-15-2008, 07:53 AM

Im quite a fan of Mercedes interiors but this GLK interior has been very disappointing (except for the door panel)
Am I the only one that thinks so?

I am.

I'm also not impressed by C's interior and judging from the spy pics, the new E class won't have that WoW interior either.

PS: Please be so kind and post a little bit smaller pic if you don't mind. Thanks in advance.

Definitely. Personally, I have been really let down by recent MB interiors.

I can't fault it. Lots of Mercedes Benz DNA in there and perfectly in keeping with the theme of the car...

Agreed. I see a lot of Mercedes styling themes in the interior. The GLK interior for some reason reminds me of the W124 interior and a bit of the W202 and W210 as well. Quality wise it looks ok. Definitely well made despite the abundance of plastic.

I just think the fact it resembles an interior designed in the 1980s may not be such a good thing for a 2008 car...

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the GLK interior? - 01-15-2008, 09:17 AM

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.

It isn't the best MB interior, but it isn't rubbish either I don't think. I need to see it with a beige setup with some wood. In short I'll wait until more pics are issues of various colors interior schemes.
