New Touchpad and No Knob

Not sure if this was already posted but seems like later this year or next year, they're going to axe the command knob and have a new touchpad.

Good catch.

I hate the command interface in the C300, as I rest my right hand on the thingy above the rotary dial and my palm accidentally swipes left and right affecting the audio. Hope that makes sense!

2018 E300 4Matic.
If you click on the pictures, they will get bigger with more detail. The thing looks a bit strange.

I thought I was the only one that did that

Very poorly thought out IMO, in my E-Class I can rest my palm above the rotary dial and not worry about swiping, pressing, or changing a damn thing.

I couldn't stand it in the new C-300 when I get one as a loaner car, very annoying. I know, first world problem and all that
