So we've gone away from the S-Class having three lights in the front - to now two.

Not a fan of the superscreen. I like the current design. As I mentioned in another thread, the current design places the main screen closer to your fingers that the superscren. Something that for me made it more manageable. The plus for the interior is the apparently elimination of the reflecting center air vents and replacing some of the haptic switches on the steering wheel.

It looks good. Just not a fan of that huge screen set up. I also with they would find a way to integrate the Speedo screen into the dash more. Why does everything have to look so much like a afterthought

The ordering guide is interesting. Rear wheel steering standard as is warmth and comfort. I wonder by how much the msrp will go up.

The center screen was the number one complaint when the W223 came out.

Quite a lot I am expecting as it seems like the AMG kit is now no charge? I will say for me I'd go for rear wheel steer and warmth and comfort anyway.

Looks like there's an upgraded Burmester and they brought back the infamous 21" wheel/tire package....

I think you will be surprised by how little the price goes up. Market isn't super hot for these.

I like the subtle change to the rear bumper of the AMG line.
The lower skirt line has changed slightly with a chrome rear diffuser. Nice!
The new Burmester tweeter looks nice but I wonder if it cannot be retrofitted to the current sail panel - it somewhat looked different in the videos.
We shall see.

I was expecting more changes in the refresh but the front is a little disappointing to me and the autonomous driving sensor/camera on the fenders look bad.
I wish they implemented it with more style and class rather than just… well, slapping it on.

The new mesh wheels look really nice!

You can always add the 4D tweeter from the pre refresh car, that accomplishes the same look.

Yeah I have those already on mine.
I just like the updated tweeters with the additional surround starburst LED signatures

They are pretty cool!

How easy was it to add the tweeters?

Nose of the car more attractive. Headlights look better. Interior looks better. No V-12 AMG car though. I will be stuck with 222 cars for the foreseeable future.
