Speaking of the little g, any more news on that other than the initial confirmation they are making one?

Great read and thanks for sharing the article! I have renewed faith that the brand will do right by their flagship model.

Saw this webpage today on the 2025 EQS. My money is that this is what the refreshed S580 and 500's interior will look like. Thoughts? Aside note - from the side, it looks like a turtle.

When I think of having to take my car into the MB dealer service department, I absolutely cringe. It’s like Disneyland on a hot, very crowded day—without the bobsleds! Until they get things under control—something I believe will take a long time, if ever—they can offer up whatever design they might like, but they won’t see me shopping their brand.

You mean the EQS Hyperscreen? That's not a new thing - been out since mid 2022 on the EQS. I think it's more likely we'll see the new E Class's superscreen setup become the Ss dashboard, as it is lower so better fits the ICE construction.

Unless you saw something else on that webpage that I'm missing

I’ve never driven the Autobahn, but I would imagine that our freeways here in Southern California are reasonably more dangerous, due to distracted drivers. My personal feeling is that a control panel/dashboard ought to look something like this:

Yeah, so that's the hyperscreen in the EQS, whoch has been on EQSs for coming up on three years now. Given that the EQS only trailed the W223 by 6-9 months in terms of unveiling (09/2020 vs 04/2021), start of regular production (12/2020 vs 06/2021), and US sales (07/2021 vs 12/2021), I'd assume that MB would have known about hyperscreen when developing the S, and therefore would have made the dimensions (dash height, width) optimized for hyperscreen. The hyperscreen is really best for EVs that need a high vehicle floor and dash height for the batteries, with the Superscreen that we see in the new W214 E CLass optimized for ICE based cars. Based on that and rumors I've heard on this forum, I don't think we'll get the hyperscreen in the facelift S Class, morel likely the Superscreen or something similar.
