Wow now that is interesting, thanks for this post. While I’m sure there is a material difference but just by design the A4 is on par and with the cockpit screen trumps the 7. I completely agree that BMW holding on to those old, tired gauges might be great for the sake of nostalgia but it’s one of the things that turns…

Are they? Granted I’ve not driven many BMWs to form an opinion on that but I’ve never felt that Mercs outside of the older early mid 2000s ones had ergonomic issues.

Oh I see, well for me it’s entirely lack of funds lol.

They are pretty much a staple of Alpinas design on most modern BMWs and look great in the metal.

Why do you feel like it’s a train wreck? Not that I disagree because I feel that the S is the gold standard for interiors (I love the S Coupe interior the most). Just interested in hearing your perspective on the 2017 7 interior.

Lol exactly. Just the phrase A is much more forgiving to look at than B shows they are both pretty rinsed choices. The Soul is bad but the XB is worse, much much worse.

Blends in as in doesn’t really stand out much to me.

Don’t you notice a correlation with youth cars being bought by old people?

When I see the Xb I just get annoyed by it’s looks. The Soul just doesn’t annoy me as much. Not to say it looks good though because it looks like crap like most Kias.

I find the soul much more forgiving on the eyes than the Xb.

Good riddance!

What happened after the first 3? I also noticed the drop off in writing (not animation) and overall quality. I assumed it was HJB’s work on Bob’s Burgers pulling him in too many directions.

Whoa shit

Archer continues to have the best animation of any modern cartoon, the way they blend 2D and 3D and the detail in the vehicles are always top notch.

CLS will get a refresh likely with similar lights or its own design when the S Class gets the facelift for 2018.

The Q5 directly competes with the GLC. The GLE would definitely be the best comparison especially price wise as the GLS will start in the mid to upper 60k.

Yeah I can see that being an issue. I often see cars with 5% limo tint all around and wonder how the hell they deal with that. That’s beyond the level I’m comfortable with.

It’s not as crazy as it seems believe me. If anything it has helped with sun glare and HID in reflector glare. I also have a decent set of headlights and live in NYC so lighting is not much of a problem. But even upstate in pitch black darkness with just my headlights on I had no issues, most people don’t even realize…

E Coupe as mentioned below

Like the E coupe below (which has been available since like 2012 pillarless) you can also get the S Coupe:
