I remember going to an autoshow a while back and sitting in the G37, C300, and 328i and thinking the Mercedes interior was the worst of the 3. This was long before I ended up buying one. I think the C-Class interior makes a poor first impression but grows on you over time. I really like it now...I prefer it to the 328i/G37 interiors for sure.
I've said this before, but the only downfall I see in our interiors is the door panels, why couldnt they just put some mb-tex padding and stitching like there E class instead of a piece of ruber. It would personally make the interior looks 10x richers.

Yep, the door panels are without doubt the worst part. I'm sure MB will remedy this soon.
