![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I think we are all making too big a deal out of three cars that all have good interiors one way or the other. Keep in mind that each company also has a distinctive style and approach when it comes to interiors. Audi designs modern and futuristic interiors that make use of a lot of silver (colors) and aluminum. BMW interiors tend to be functional, a bit bland in most regards but also sporty. Mercedes also prefers a functional and conservative approach. I think these philosophies are easily detected in the respective interiors.

![]() | I still think the 5 is looking pretty fresh, the overall shape of it might be a little outdated, compared with the W211 Eclass, it made the 5 looking not as "smooth" but next to the new E, apart from the roofline looking a bit dull, i would believe it is not a 7 year old model. The interior, after the facelift, well it think it doesn't look inferior to the new E at all, the new E surely have more gadgets, stuff like illuminated trims etc. but the layout, the general design, well at least i don't see anything that's superior in the Eclass. Audi - well, that rear is nice but i would've thought it was an A5 or A4, being 99.9% identical, who cares. Interior is just the same old Audi interior, so again, who cares. the next A6 comes and it will be again 99% identical. Put a picture of the previous A6 interior here and i'm sure some wouldn't notice it's old. <-- a joke.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Interesting. I concur. Though I must add that I don't get angry with/at BMW's interior. It just excites me, which may pass as anger.

![]() | The E-Class in the above pictures looks terrible in my view. It looks like an American Camry, the whole thing looks like it's designed for the North American market in fact. The previous generation was far better looking. The champagne colour does nothing for it either. |
