I never liked the 2005 interior except for the cluster. The updated COMMAND is nice, but I think that all the buttons/etc were a step down. I think that this new interior's buttons is an even bigger step down.

I dont like the steering wheel or the look of the cd player/radio, everything else seems pretty cool.

Only thing I don't like is the front grille. I thnk the rest looks fine and will grow on others once the car is officially released.

why the heck do the sport/avantgarde package get that nasty grille...I like the traditional sedan grille way better.

I totally agree with this statement the traditional grill is much better than the avantgarde one...

Other than that it I really think that this car is very good looking with a nicely done interior.. A good move for Benz in my eyes... and I am sure the amg is going to be quiet the fun package

Werd.
I was car shopping and the reason why i didnt get the IS350 is b/c of the interior. it's horrific! i prefer the 05+ w203 interior. it's nice and simple.

it look like an old Toyota echo just ugly, the center counsel is just cheep looking i dont mind the staring wheel, or the gadgets at all.

but it looks like that the navigation screen is folds? if u look at the pic carefully it seams as the screen will fold down and a cover will go over it, and with the screen not there it will look even more cheep.

hahaha, well I wouldn't go that far. the echo was one of the UGLIEST cars ever made.

I'd like to see the navigation screen fold in action. looks pretty decent, but yeah it will look even cheaper when it's out of sight...

I agree. I like the CLK-style grille on our model, but for some reason it looks outta place there......

I think the grill looks pretty good on it. I think it looks better than if they were to have the hood ornament and regular chrome grill, this makes it look sportier and newer.

I like the exterior. Interior is a disaster.

I think it's turning Japanese. What with all the round little knobs everywhere. It looks very cheesy. It is way too busy. The only thing that would make it worse is to add chrome, like the Lexus & Infiniti.

The Audi interiors are much nicer, less *icer.

It needs to be more subtle and classy. The real drawback to the German cars is the quality, but instead of copying the quality, they copy the looks of the Japanese cars. This is really stupid.

It looks like it was put in as an afterthought, not an available option.... or maybe it's just a folding screen designed to look like this.. may look cool or something the first time, but the novelty wears off for me pretty quickly
