Think about that. /Prayer+Jesus Christ, son of God, every day I thank Your Father that I have a relationship with You. I do not deserve it, I did not ask for it, but You came for me because You know what I need. I need You now, precious Lord Jesus. My friends and family need You too. Give me the wisdom to speak to them humbly and help convince them of the power of Your love, and the patience to know when or when not to speak. In accordance with Your commandments, I humbly ask this prayer, Amen.

The W140 came too late and was gone too soon.

@@zdenekkrapka5325 So very true.

You all maybe don't think/understand that it's exactly what car manufacturers want: all these interiors are designed to look old and obsolete after some time so that you, customer, you feel the need to buy a new and updated version of you car. That's why frequent face-lifting and interior updates became such a trend. Ah and if this this thing reminds you about phone manufacturers that release every less than a year a new phone, making yours old and obsolete, you are not that wrong...

On audi they made an effort to integrate the display into the dashboard and it looks really good, while on the mercs it's just a display slapped behind the wheel like an afterthought. They are both screens, but I wouldn't place them in the same category.

To drop the rear head rests was not a feature that had been invented in that 90s S Class. It had been available in a mercedes E Class in 1986 already. Maybe it had been invented for the 80s S Class or even before that. But I appreciate that both of the moderators appreceated that feature much more than all that touch display bullshit. In my opinion the "cockpit" equipped with two totally dominating touchscreens is absolutly ugly and a total design catastrophy, especially the one behind the stearing wheel. It looks as if the car is still in the testing process without having a speedmeter etc. built in and the testing engineer has placed his tablet behind the stearing wheel as an improvised solution to get instant driving data during several testing cycles.---- It seems as if the constructors had forgotten that they were building a car instead of an entertainment fascillity. To make my point of view clear, I am not against an option to get access to a touchscreen while driving, but the screen itself is an ugly object to be looked at while not in use. So it should be out of sight then. Concerning the tachometer, speedometer etc. I would prefer classic instruments. If there are advantages in led displays, which lead to choose one, it should be designed to imitate the appearance of classic instruments at least. From outside the new S class is not looking good. Someone in the comments wrote it looks like a used soap, I agree to that. Especially the front is looking bad, there is no consistency in the forms of the different parts of it.

@@MaticTheProto people like me? I hate unnecessary electronics like this. Don’t get me started on touchpad screens replacing all buttons and dials so you need to go through 3 layers of menu to change the temperatures. You misread me totally.

yeah sadly tesla is the way to go now, because people for some reason value shenanigans and silly tech gadgets over function

I see nothing wrong with it because touchscreens are and is the future of today, so I don't see why you'd complain unless you're as old as my mom and can't keep up with all this technology. Things are changing and you can either be stuck in the past or evolve with it. It's like in the early 1900's when vehicles started becoming a thing, people said that horses and buggys are better yet here we are.

@@vince3523 I use touch screens all the time but they are a dangerous idea in cars because you need to take your eyes off the road and to try and hit individual touch buttons while the car is moving. A physical knob and button requires much less time with your eyes off the road to operate. Having to go through layers of touch menus to change the temperature or turn on heated seats is crazy. Just because something works best in one situation doesn’t make it the best for everything.
