the c-class has gone upscale because they now have the CLA to get 'entry' sales. it's not much different than the 3/4 series now bmw has the 1/2. i expect the bmw interiors next up to get the full upgrade treatment.

Which is the point. In order to stand out you need to step up. MBZ is doing just that, which is why they can command such premiums. For a favorable brand image comparison you either have to match eye to eye or be taller. Mercedes as it stands is in a great position right now. Lexus for what it's worth is coming on strong as we'll see some incredible things within the next 3 years.
To be fair though, most of seem to be up to something, MBZ with new AMG life, luxury, Cadillac and Lexus with new designs, models/upcoming, Jaguar and Maserati expanding to reach a bigger audience with the XE and Ghibli while stretching further upmarket with the F-Type and Alfieri. And BMW and Audi seemingly chugging along with niche models, tech and and future weight reduction palns.
Never been a better time to find and buy a luxury badge

Mercedes C63 AMG interior photos leaked
Click here to view more photos
To be powered by a 4.0 V8 engine
New images showing the interior design of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG have hit the web.
What we see on the photos is a leather flat-bottomed steering wheel, AMG dials with carbon fiber background and a 320 km/h (200 mph) speedometer, sports leather seats and a Burmester audio system.
As previously reported, on the outside the C63 AMG will likely feature an aggressive front fascia with a single bar grille and larger air intakes. The sports vehicle will reportedly be powered by the new 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine taken from the upcoming AMG GT.
Codenamed M178, this unit will develop 510 PS (375 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) in the AMG GT but Mercedes-Benz will probably offer a detuned version in the C63 AMG with around 480 PS (353 kW) in the standard variant and a little bit more in the S-Model.
It is believed both the sedan and the station wagon versions of the C63 AMG will be revealed on September 24 with deliveries programmed to kick off in February and April, respectively.
