better interior design than the last for sure but still dont like the constant use of black plastics. Looks so cheap and dim. What do BMW and Mercedes have against using beige, greys, etc on the dash like many Japanese manufacturers

At least most are glossy. Matte looks terribly cheap

I have a feeling it has something to do with lessening the potential for glare. For the record, you can get the dash colors in brown and dark blue on a regular basis across MB's lineup.

The interior sure looks nice on the photoshopped photos. But I'm willing to bet that in person it will feel even worse than that of the 3IS
For example what's with that screen? Was it too much to ask for a integrated display?
And let's not talk about the 1.8L (C200) drivetrain. GARBAGE!

Basically anything thats above 3IS, you have to pay a lot extra money for... 3IS will have more base equipment, it is really well equiped from start (and much better than 2IS too).

^^ what is the base screen on the IS250 with the display audio? Most people will be willing to pay more for this C class now that they have the CLA to slot into the low 30s. You gotta pay to play.

So Mercedes think they're smart by making a FWD turd so that they could increase the price of their ex-base car?
The CLA is a crude car.
