| I quite like the interior. Very traditional in the older SL idiom (divine round vents I must say) and purposeful looking. This is a "get in and get on with it interior" and speaks volumes for Mercedes Benz' intent with this car. I have a feeling it won't disappoint.

| I appreciate the fact that MB didn't try to do anything fancy with the navigation screen, like make it flip out or put a huge covering on it. I like how it just sits there. It's simple and well integrated.

Audi, in contrast, just keeps on coming up with new exciting designs. The shape and contours of the surfaces, the combination of materials used, and the different styles on offer. In my view, the recent Mercedes interior designs are solid and competent. But they are boring and a little like watching paint dry. | |

Whereas Mercedes comes with impressive interiors, very 80's inspired in terms of design, but of a very high quality. My only concern is the W204, whose interior design is a bit lacking imo. I love the W212 E-Class' interior though. To each his own...

| Ladies and Gentlemen! We now know a bit more about the door handles. We don't yet quite know where they are for definite but now we definitely do know where they're not.
