Exterior wise the car is certainly still the king but the interior is looking very dated and bare compared to the new 7 Series and even the XJ. Even the exterior without the AMG package is looking very old and in some instances poorly designed (wheel arches still kurt the design in my opinion) to my eyes. AMG package does wonders, especially in adding a more premium look, but then again not everyone is looking for the sports pack at this end of the market. Then again many (most?) have differing views on this car to my opinion.

If you're basing it off the pics posted above, then yes. But in real life that interior is F__king phenomenal.

Basing it on sitting in a FL S500 yesterday in that exact combination, made a darker wood accent. Interior design is looking old and in some positions, central dash, very bare. Quality is still extremely high but design and quality are two different idioisms.

That combo from above isn't that impressive, but to say "outdated" is another thing. But it's your opinion, who am I to argue.

The LEDs in the headlight were set up so well. Really not feeling the double fogs on a S-class though. I'm guess the the Double Fogs will be standard and LEDs optional???
