Oh, I dislike the diamond stitching on the designo MBs too. But at least that is confined to the seats and small parts of the dash. The pleating here is on the entire interior door panel...mixed with very busy glass cutting, and an even busier speaker grill

I can't stand the diamond patterns either, but apparently, a lot of people who buy S Class and LS are in the older age group, and they love the old school fussy Elvis styling that Bitkahuna was referring to.

No, I'm already thinking about what to get.
Here is my list of considerations in order that I will likely get come lease end in 2018:
1. Audi S7
2. Audi A8 4.0t
3. BMW m550i
4. Audi S8 if I decide to say screw it and go all out.
I don't like the new 7 series. Too many around here. Same for the S550. Don't see many A8s or S7s.
I was going buy my next vehicle instead of leasing but I'm just going to lease again.

S6 instead of A7 (need 5 seats)
No A8/S8. A8 is due for a redesign
New LS (pricing)
5 series diesel (if it comes to the US)
My Audi lease ends May 31. May have to extend it or drive the truck for a few months to wait. Lots of options for 2018.

Yeah A7 and A8 are all new in 2018 on new, shared platforms, I think. My lease ends December 2018, so it will likely be a 2019 MY.
It's going to be a busy year for car releases for sure, but that's good for us, the consumer.
