or it's a tablet so they have any gauges and the vents are up high so they can cover everything else and not suffocate in the heat. looks like a very very early crude interior.

Merc has got to be making the boxiest, old-fashioned, ugliest dashboards I've seen in decades. Looks like it's about to get even worse.

I hope that is sarcasm. Most auto reviewers and most on this forum would agree that the S class has the nicest interior in the category.

tank or from a $15k motorcycle. Wait till you see the new A-class. It's Fisher-Price shaped and would be at home on a Playschool toy.

Fancy trim, virtual electronics, and nice surface finishes are trickery in this case. The overall shape is what's garbage. Any five year old can draw a perfect rectangle for a dashboard and call it a day. Is this world-class design? Something that looks like a 70's GM tank or from a $15k motorcycle. Wait till you see the new A-class. It's Fisher-Price shaped and would be at home on a Playschool toy.
You should call LG and Samsung let them know that rectangles aren’t stylish anymore because you want a star shaped tv! Damn the rectangles!

The center display in the LS500 is also rectangular, and the 7 Series, and the Audi, and Jag, and Infiniti, and so on, but maybe you are on to something. Would you prefer the monitors be oval shaped? Or maybe a triangle shaped monitor would look better!

Not true with any of those examples. All those have a rectangle reserved for only the nav screen area, off to the center. But Benz has it as all one piece, connect to the main gauge package. Nothing artful, nothing elegant, nothing sporty, and nothing innovative for a $60k or $100k car. Lazy.
An excerpt from my quote states, “The center display in the LS500 is also rectangular, and the 7 Series, and the Audi, and Jag, and Infiniti, and so on, but maybe you are on to something.”
The first line of your response, “Not true with any of those examples.”
Please explain how that statement is incorrect considering I never mentioned a “main gauge package.” I only mentioned the central display.
Just so you know, the “main gauge package” is called an instrument cluster.
