Yuck!!! Looks cheap and nasty, definitely not fitting of a Mercedes Benz. You can tell it isn't even real but even if it was real Granite it still wouldn't look good.

It could be real, but I'd have chosen a different look in the granite.

And why use cowhide for the seats, when there are so many alternatives (crocodile, kangaroo, ostrich). Not the gaudy Elvis type of leather, but a subtle but premium leather. There are many orthodox Hindus who would like to drive a Mercedes too.

WOW
If that Granite is what's in...then let me stay OUT! =)

Brunsed aluminum...dark wood finishes or a combination are going to be timeless

Everyone to have his or her own taste. I don't really care much for the stone look in a car. That's just me.

And that is cheap granite, maybe marble, but not granite, how about Corian? LOL. Looks like they got it out of an RV kitchen or some crappy boat.

What next? Toile anyone?
