Step aside, peasant. Worse still, is the new C class coupe being just a smaller version of the S coupe, taking the BMW/Audi route of making the same car in different sizes.
>>16955077
The C class is supposed to be the baby S.
That said, I can appreciate the late W204.

Reddish colors contrasting against dark colors is the tackiest edgy Wal Mart-esque design choice you can make. It's like they're making the car for teenagers.

>i could afford it if i had the money to buy it
>>16955403
Agreed 100%.
I had a loaner new C300. The piano black was covered in fingerprints by the end of the day, and the iPad on the dash was just something to laugh at.
That being said, the new car has a TON more interior room than the W204. Especially in the front passenger seat and the rear seats. The sunroof is also huge in comparison.
And it drives every bit as well as the older model.
>>16956959
I've only ridden the W204 rear seat but it was really good
>>16957405
The W204 blows my mind. It's bland, but such a good overall package. Couldn't ask for anything better to simply drive around in. (wife's car)

>>16952461
these are all (very expensive) options. you can still get a completely normal interior. I know this post will be ignored for the memes sake but still.
>>16957458
It still looks like shit though.
I remember when this was brought up before. Most of you cunts then thought the new one looked better too. Mercedes Benz must have 14 year olds on their design team.
That stupid curve remind me of the hideous S13 interior. Wayyy to many curves everywhere inside and out of this new car
First one car is in a parking lot

>Poor people apparently can't see Tokyo Drift teir interiors from their screen.

Minimalist to a kid who's money comes from daddy's raghead oil maybe.
>>16952410
But it loos better than the old one. Are you memeing, OP?
>>16958544
Old money left Benz in the late 90s.
If they want Benz 'reliabity' they will get a Lexus ls. If they want sporty they will get a bmw, jag, or probably now Alfa.
>>16957458
Yes, I have. It looks pampered, but the quality is subpar. The mid console is flimsy plastic, the buttons are paint-covered plastic and arranged completely afunctionally and illogicaly, the screen is awful and the infotainment itself and controls were apparently designed by a 12 year old and are easily worst in class. The only reason you'd think this is nice is if you haven't actually driven one of those.

The interior just screams tryhard like it was just trying to copy a supercar and wanted more to look expensive than be good, but that's what MB is doing in general nowadays.
>>16952582
I loathe Alfa and its fanbase even more, but this is a well-done interior; it's simple but still interesting, ergonomic and just looks like a nice place to be. Seriously fuck glossy surfaces on anything
Pic related is another example of a well-done interior, I'm not saying BMW is in the same league as even Lexus/MB for interiors but it's just simple and works, that said the quality of the interior was way higher than I expected it to be based on pictures and /o/ shitposting
>>16972852
generic audi interior from early 00s
>>16972852
They could have toned it down a bit with the center shroud but aside from that, that interior is really nice.

>>16972796
it looks misaligned but the worst part about it is that it was likely designed that way
probably to save on labor, since a well aligned design would require more careful fitting
>>16957818
I think for some cars with it, you can retract it, but I agree, it looks like a tumor on the dash.
>>16952461
S-Class owner here, the instrument cluster and the GPS are really nice, they dont mess with the lines of the dash and blend seamlessly into the interior.
The burl walnut trim is gorgeous and doesn't attract as many fingerprints as you would think.
It also has the HUD which 10x classier than the GPS info iPad.
>ricey Tokyo neon glow

You can have factory rice. Prime example is the new Civic Type-R.

if the designers copy said modders' trends then the car comes riced from the manufacturer

According to that logic any car with a factory stereo is "riced" since stereos were once aftermarket addons. Shut up retard.

Memes aside, neon glow isn't too bad because it's a simple mod that doesn't really fuck up the functionality of the car (unless you install the electronics retardedly). It's shit like the cheap Chinese tin foil turbos or plastic attachable rims that pisses me off. Stuff that is guaranteed to break after 2000 miles and hinder the vehicles performance/life expectancy.
