I've recently noticed (and read in the first drive reviews) of these additional support/pillows on the rear seat headrests. Anybody know what option that is?

Also, curious of whether anyone thinks the rumored HUD for MY15 will be available as a retrofit for the 2014 models. I'm guessing probably not.

Those are part of the executive seating option, I believe - the one that gives you the reclining right rear seat.

For the haters of the steering wheel on the "normal" S-class, you are going to continue hating on the AMG wheel

Awh man. How are they keeping that old fogey steering wheel in an AMG model? Makes no sense. Not to mention without a lower peg it's counterintuitive for any kind of aggressive or sporty driving.

a wheel any sportier than that would be at odds with the rest of the interior.

i think they walked the line well.

That's a good point I guess. To be honest I always thought the AMG steering wheel in my W212 even looked at-odds enough in that very squared/angular/classic stately interior. One in the W222's old-world style luxury wouldn't sit right.... but I think a classic 4 spoke would functionally work and look much better personally.

"Vision Accomplished" is indeed a horrible slogan. Sounds really lame. Then again, Mercedes adverts have been really cookie-cutter and kind of lowbrow for awhile now.

.... Then again again, advertising in general is pretty much universally cookie cutter and lowbrow these days. I can't remember it being this bad in awhile. It's like all the good ideas have already been taken and nobody's taking a chance in being unique, going against the commonality "status-quo", etc.
