![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info Yep, I never liked the loose leather in the W220, the W221 is a big improvement because it is much more tailored. BTW Artist, your English is excellent. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info Guys, the leather you talking about is perforated for the tiny fans in the seats. Costomers never call the leather on the seats loose. It`s the leather on the door panels that customers call gathered (not loose) Check out the door panels in this pic compared to the one above, you`ll see what I`m talking about. This adds personality the interior in the upper class models like the S600. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info For some reason it seems like MB is getting away from the gathered leather on the doors unfortunately. That was something that basically most MB's had and adds a lot of class and character to the interior. But you look at the ML doesn't have it but the old one did, the New S only has it as designo but the old one had it in every model, the R doesn't have it, the old SLK had it and the new one doesn't.... Is it cost cutting or just a new design direction? In the case of the ML and R I do think it is cost cutting because the door panels have no leather except for the door pulls and arm rest. I hope it's not a sign of things to come but it definetly looks like it is.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info I think it`s more of a new design direction for MB. A lot of developement costs went into the new S-Class. So having gathered leather in the door panels wouldn`t be a problem, it just doesn`t suit the design of the new ultra modern cabin if you will. The W220 S-Class was more classy than modern, The W221 is the other way around in terms of design direction. Imagine gathered leather in the W221s` interior door panels, It would look like a mess.

I think overall that you are right, it is just the product of the new design direction.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info Yep! this is about the closest to gathered leather we will see in the new S-Class. Suits the interior just fine if you ask me. I do believe the new ML could have gathered leather though. ![]()

Come to think of it though, the sorts of people who live in those types of houses would more than likely be potential S class buyers anyway. I guess we all have different taste but just for example, to me these types of interiors are just bourgeois kitsch - it's all just fake luxury IMO. ![]() ![]() | |
