love the interior

Okay there with the pics Dark Child, is that the entire worldwide S class catalog?

I sat in this one in Frankfurt. It had a Designo Interior... wow.. once you sit in it, you just don't want to get out anymore. you just fell like closing your eyes and enjoying the unbelievable comfort! Notice I'm only talking about sitting in the car. Driving it would defenitly be a different story.
I'm in love!

So when are you going to work as head of design for MB?

J/K ... Did everything inside seem like it was in the right place (sort of speak). Nothing in the way, everything needed in hands reach.... how was it in comparo with a 7'er. Interior wise?

im sure once u sit inside the car ur gonna see a big differance bettween the interior of the s-class and the 7 series ...theres some details that u see in real life and u cant see in pictures ....

That's what i was asking Huss... about. Wanted to know if the positioning in the car is perfect, or not, and if its similar to the 7'er.

Figure he has first hand point of view.

The only thing that definitely MUST GO from the new S is that ugly steering wheel...

Ok I'm here.

Needless to say my affection for the S doesn't change with sites.

The interior detail is where Mercedes will really win back some that left the brand for other better detailed cars in the past.

I'm afraid I can't give an relieble answer to that, for I didn't sit in the 7er. But I felt like everything in the S wa in its right place. And the most important thing is that It doesn't have too much buttons. there are only few buttons that are important and should be reacalbe anytime. Everything else can be reaches by the Comand knob in the wide screen. The menu was very simple and intuitively desigened. I didn't feel like I was lost browsing the functions. Unfortunately I did't have enough time to "discover" more, because there were other people that would certainly have killed me if I didn't get outta the car to give them the chance to sit in the car!

I'm still not totally convinced over the interior. It doesn't feel as opulent as it should be - like in the A8, for example, you can feel you're bathed in luxury - I don't feel (or rather, see) myself enjoying the ambience of the S-Class interior, IMO.
