So, as a rule I appreciate MBs but never really like them (save the SL & SLK to a certain extent). That said: this I really like (especially all the squareness going on)

Theyre is a diffrence between flashy and and unimpressive, I say that it would be best for you to study the pictures some more. I find the interior of the sls perfect.

It's a $300K car, that's the least they can do

It still looks pretty blah to me from a design standpoint, I hope the exterior won't disappoint ...

The interior looks much better then the Merc SLR. The SLR interior looks too plain and cheap to me, especially considering the price.

each to their own! i know it's not 300k, but i don't think much of the LS460 interior/dash either.

I love it. It's distinct from the rest of the lineup whereas the SLR had some obvious interior pieces and cues from the SL.

Cannot wait for the full release!
have you been inside the C63? it looks like crap. or the slr? it has plastics everywhere inside and its a half million dollar car! very unbecoming of amg. and although this SLS interior looks pretty good, i know its not the best. not nearly.
