How could MB do such a good job with the new ML interior...
....and manage to completely screw up the S class (their bread and butter car) interior???

Cool, the steering wheel has a D-pad. Maybe you can use it with GT4, like a DFP. or some PSP controls. yes.

HAHA. that interior looks like a minivan, you gotta be fucking kidding me MB. this is so ridiculous is laughable.
i noticed that once i mentioned hyundai everyone chimed in. the car does look like a ripoff, similar to the hyundai thats copying the new lex GS.
fucking germans. go back to the drawing board, lift up your skirts, grab your balls and design a fucking flagship automobile. they had it right 5 years ago, i never even liked the current gen.

those front wheel arches is absolutely absurd and should not be on a car like this. i understand they are trying to make is more modern, but why cant the grab the old big body design and make a retro type version to it.
ford did the same thing. they realized the mustang was starting to look like crap, so they took their older, classic, most grandeur design and did a retro version.

Sad that MB did such a good job with the CLS, SL, ML, and E class and then turn around and do a shit job on their flagship. 
MB needs to go back to the drawing board with this one.
- Shifter on column
- Using a system like I-drive when most people hate this feature
- Horrible design

It's bigger than the current very gen, and has the road presence of the last gen. Love the coupe-light greenhouse. Absolutely nothing wrong with the column shifter, lol. The new Command looks more like i-Drive, a huge mistake.

The one in the middle (dark red) with those wheels on looks very sharp in my opinion. I think that overall it looks great and it will look a lot better live I am guessing. Good job DCX.

this s class and current 7 series put a shame to flagship luxo cars. call me old school, but late 90s 7 and S were way nicer. more flagship and stood out fromt the rest.

No doubt
At the time these old BMW's were still in production, all I could think about was picking up a 740 il off lease. Now with the changes, I rarely even think about BMW, except for the M3 which is due to meet the butchers block oh so soon.
