They do, thats a weak point. The cupholders in the back seat of my S Class are weird too, wouldn't call them cheap, but weird.

 

Just watched the review. Not a terrible looking car but not great either. From the side profile, the front and rear look too similar that it just looks frumpy. I really like the interior and the technology in the car. Not a bad luxury EV.

 

entertaining eqs580 review...

 

I was driving by one of these 580 4matic. I had a good drive on free way and local streets to see this thing from different angles. Wow someone paid 125,900+ for this thing? Not sure what's inside that would make it worth it but definitely not the outside. Something very odd about this design.

 

new independent (insidevs) EQS 450+ range test at 70mph... don't want to give away, but impressive!

 

Saw a black one today, looks just as hideous in person.

 

LOL. The more I see it, the more and more it gets ugly. Only seen it at a MB dealer, waiting to see itin traffic still

 

Saw a white one the other day. Not impressed. Kind of blob-like.

 

Mercedes sold 2,091 EQS models in Q1 and 4,817 S-class models in Q1 2022. That's a good start. We'll see how things look a year from now with increased competition.

 

I finally saw my first EQS in the wild and I didn't think it looked that bad. Sure it looked a little like a jelly bean but it wasn't hideous like I thought in the pictures although it was black so it could hide some of the ugliness which black tends to do.

 

I've probably now seen 5 or 6 in the wild, and they don't look bad to me in the flesh. I don't like them in white though

 

When I buy a $120,000 car, I don't want "it doesn't look that bad" to describe how it looks lol

 

I saw two new S class models last week. DT. The design is just right. Defacto luxury sedan flagship. But have seen the EQS in the wild too….it’s a mistake (and won’t sell as well as people think it will). Only thing EQS has going for it is that it is a EV

 

Yeah the W223 has really grown on me, I think they look great.

I look at the EQS as what it really is, which is a test bed EV platform for Mercedes. They will fine tune it and get it right, and we will see a full EV S Class, and/or the future redesigns of the EQS will bring in more traditional MB sedan charachter and they will get it right.

I can't see BUYING one of these knowing all that to be true.

I turn around and look at my S560 all the time when I walk away from it, THAT you need when spending this kind of money on a car.

 

I agree
