What do you see in this picture?

I see either Bozo the clown or Felix the cat, what do you see. Two eyes, a nose, hair, a huge smile, whiskers and a nose. I swear it Felix the cat. My friend thinks it looks like Bozo.

You are realizing this two years into production? Everybody agreed on this a long time ago and is waiting for the updated steering wheel which is already installed of many S-classes outside the US.

That said, I may see this on a pic, but never when sitting in or driving the car

And the clown face steering wheel does me in.

This was also on the net:



I'm not here to make fun of the W222. While I still like many things about the w221, the w222 is still the best car you can buy for the money.

The Clown face is true, but the steering wheel isnt that bad I just wish they offered the sportier wheel in the AMG sports package model.

It is just an observation not a criticism, there are design queues that I have issue with not the wheel.

Ok this is the new W223 wheel. I hope someone can do a photoshop with this one.

I see a joker with a very very long chin and can’t unsee it.

this is a clown face. I think they were careful this time. I honestly think it was done on purpose the first time.
