quick survey w/ digital left screen

on the digital screen on the left side, which screen do you go with? classic, sport or progressive?

i want to like sport. but continue to go back to classic because i feel it shows more details... looks cooler. but everyone seems to be going with Sport look??

whats your choice for your G63 or G550?

While I generally prefer the analog-style displays of classic/sport, and I think that classic is best for most of the sedans, eg especially the S class, for some reason I’ve been liking the Progressive on the G!

There’s something about the blue and white colors on the black background that works, and the tachometer is actually still there, “analog” style in the center that you might not notice until you try it. Although the speedometer is digital number only, which makes the distronic arrows kind of hard to decipher at a glance. But maybe that’s why I like it, because you can’t put a digital speed number on classic/sport without giving up a display area for other information.

I have a colleague who leaves his S in sport display, but I tend to not like the yellow color and the font so much.

Sport! Love the one gauge display but not the Progressive colors.

also as a side note I have a 2021 GLA250 loaner car right now and those screens are even more stunning!!!
