Default 2021 ls 500

So In short summary, The car feels worse in feeling high quality. The one I test drove was a luxury from what I was told and the leather on the center console felt so cheap felt like vinyl, is that what they put on the center arm rest. The new button feel cheap as well and the interior although mostly the same feels weird with the added on navigation. The power seems as though it's slower than when I got mine. I'll wait for an fsport but I'm not sold at all at looking at another one with the changes. Nothing feels premium like the 18-20 LS.

That nav screen looks terrible. The 18-20 looked perfect.

Agreed, the afterthought makes it look terrible especially in person.

Yep, the nav screen is definitely out-of-place. Mercedes-Benz also got rid of their elegant instrumentation panel on their flagship S-Class & went w/ 2 big notepads for the 2021 model instead. I don't understand why so many automakers now these days have decided to copy Tesla big screen's display design? What's so beauty about these screens & the awful placements when there's no flow at all???
