  | AutoExpress - Mercedes S500    Rating:  The world’s most popular luxury car just got better! Four years after launch, Mercedes has taken the flagship S-Class even further upmarket. The exterior tweaks – limited to a sharper grille, exhausts incorporated into the rear bumper and LED lights – won’t get much attention. Stealth is the name of the game here, and it’s inside where the S-Class delivers. Swathed in leather and wood, the cabin rivals most living rooms for comfort. And, as usual, Mercedes has managed to cram in plenty of hi-tech kit. One highlight is SPLITVIEW, the centre console display which allows the driver to use the sat-nav while the front-seat passenger can watch a movie! There are also dozens of new and revised driver aids, such as Disctronic Plus active cruise control, which keeps you a set distance from the car in front, and Attention Assist, which monitors your driving for signs of drowsiness.

| I think split view is just going to get husbands angry at their wives or vice versa... Can't you just imagine the passenger cracking up watching some comedy show while the driver has to sit there and drive... I'd just switch the view and they could watch the navi while I watch the show and crash and burn and oh wait... never mind, bad idea... |
