New S Class W221 Pics and Info *Cont'd thread 2*

[Hypersonic]

You are correct Mirage77, it is usual for Mercedes to charge extra for all the luxuries.

[Mr. Mercedes]

Its easy for black interiors to not photograph well and look particularly cheap. Especially if the picture itself is crap. Another interior colour or better picture wouldn't look 1/2 as bad.

Still, this photo is then a correct and accurate representation of what a S-Class interior should look like.

I just can't respect a company which allows its luxury flagship sedan to turn out like that, ie. when it comes with no options at all. Even stripped down, it should look at least on par with the competition.

We were talking about the door panels of the M class with no leather... The newly released GL even though has the same designed door panels as ML there is a nice difference! Leather on doors with stitching!! Check it out!

I agree the S should come one way only as a minimum. The minimum shouldn't have corners cut. It should look inside like a loaded S. At least i'd say.

The M is not a flagship btw.

yea but it is to tempt the people into buying the model up each time, and it is a pretty good way of making people buy extras or a higher model, especially alloy wheels, i swear they put them retarded alloys on the 350 just to make you buy better ones! but i suppose if all the cars had say the same interiors then assembly could be speeded up slightly and the prices would come down.....but then where do you stop, rear tv's as standard? (they are like 4600 euros for just two 8 inch tv's and a dvd player! then tv tuner is 1000 euros, then some special headphones another 700 euros! its insane, if they stick that as standard think how much the price would go up. same with the w220 and navigation though, at first it was optional! i like saw 1 s class which didnt have navigation! i have never seen an upholstery one, yet in germany leather is extra...but after a while navigation was made standard, although leather and metallic paint still are not on the 350! who buys a $80000 car without metallic paint and leather?

I mean as too interior trim, not TV's and such. Leather, wood, detail. Car should have a minimum standard. It is the top model. The pics with cloth and material around the car was terible. No way to realease even the lowest model S on the streets. Has to have a certain level of class.

That's pretty ridiculous I think because the S class is hardly a cracker jack toy. It is still the flagship of Mercedes Benz. Ok so German car brands have a way to rip you off by making an option list longer than the Webster dictionary. A nice interior is the bare necessity in a car like this.

in that rear seat pic with no electric seats, is there another pic showing what the rear arm rest looks like? i wonder if that gets wood if you dont have electric seats?

I dont mean loaded as in TV's and DVD's. Im talking about interior trim and such.. Make it look like an S and not cheap. I hate seeing a top of the line car with material inside.
