It is amazing technology.
This is the sedan but the Coupe should look the same.

Sorry to say it but the new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 has a pretty similar dash set up, one of my friends owns one and it looks just like this. There is a screen where the instrument cluster should go and a screen where the regualr nav unit goes, he can put whatever he wants up on the gauge cluster, even the nav screen, the radio, an anolog gauge or digital gauge, MPH, Emails, pretty much anything. Althought the vav screen in the SRT is not nearly as large as that one in the S Class.

The dash vents remind me of this.




And I think the interior is way over done, contrived and disjointed.

That's a good one. I'm also having a hard time digesting the new S-Class interior.

I think that the dash is fantastic, and a natural next step! People just tend to hate change... I'm sure it'll grow on most people pretty fast.

i love these new gadgets... but can someone imagine owning a car like this out of warranty? It would be near impossible without extended.

It's the only possible way. I'm afraid when that day comes.

although i can see how the 4 vents is a bit off, im going to have to say i kind of like it. i am hopelessly addicted to my other touchscreen devices though... my phone is rarely more than ten feet away

i have an aftermarket touchscreen now instead of some of the normal dash panel installed so i am already accustomed to the touchscreens in the car.

and i have to say - i HATE the control knob on the center console, so to me the touchscreen is an improvement over that.

Not sure why so many comment on the dual screens. This is old school by now, having been in the S-class for the last six+ years already.

Love the steering wheel! Wish that one would be available in the new S-Class

I wonder that nobody commented how small the side windows are and how high the window line is. Just look at the door panels!

Compare that to the current CL

Those on stickers on the windows that mask the body lines. If you look closely the window goes a lot lower than that sticker that is creating a masked bodyline

They did the same thing on the headlights and tail lights

When looking at the inside door panel above the door opener and seat adjustment; it's huge and seems to be production level. No camouflage showing form the inside either. I think this is the actual body/window line...
