Seems to be the style at the moment- had a look at the new Audi RS4 and it's the same quilted style stitched trim

Bentley have been doing seats like this for years.
I think it suits the style of the car.

I know you have more functionality with a digital display but for me it cheapens the look; id prefer a more bespoke/crafted display if spending that $$$. Those seats are awesome.

I agree about the screen where the speedo gauges should be. It's the only gripe I have with an otherwise beautiful piece of engineering. A proper gauge cluster adds depth to the gauges and a little design flair, this strikes me as the cheaper option with less moving parts.. Keep the screen in the middle, but I'd rather a proper set of gauges which are beautifully designed and assembled.

Really like the look of this, awesome - interior in particular.
Only part that doesn't impress is the back, albeit it might just be a bad angle in the pic. (plus those squarish surrounds on so many new cars just look terrible/tacky, but that might just be me) ps: still have one in a heartbeat though of course! |

Yeah the back is a bit meh. Tail lights are a bit plain. Would have to see it in the metal to make a final call on it though.

Front looks nice and the interior is OK, but the back is terrible.
Isn't there an E class coupe? I think S class should stay true to the Luxury LWB Sedan. |

That's a beautiful car no matter which way you look at it I reckon. The seats look fantastic to me - just something a bit different but classy at the same time!

This is the first time it's actually an S Class coupe, previously it was called the CL class.

I don't like it at all. The current CL and CLS are a nice looking bit of kit but this latest design is bloody awful. The quilted seat thing is also another distasteful aspect. Epic fail as far as I'm concerned.

God cars are getting ugly, that rear end is horrid and the dials look like they're going to be digitized. The front end looks alright but its too similar to everything else.

Here is the S63 AMG Coupe...god it looks good in white, in black it would look even better.

Expect late model stocks of the previous model to appreciate in value, as it was a far more beautiful design IMHO.

I've tried to let it grow on me. Can't. It's horrific looking at just about every angle inside and out to me. That dash. Oooof. AMG usually hit the mark for me, the C63 will be the first thing I'd buy after I win the lottery. Can't win them all.
