Nice. Oh did they go back to the original style for the center armrest area? It looks they're changing it back to the 2003 style for 2007. |

Yeah I think they did, it looks like the old version, but I bet it's not exactly the same. Because:
The old cupholders were almost useless ... a friend of mine has an E320 and it's pointless. OTOH I admit that I hate the rolltop desk thing, it doesn't exactly make a comfortable armrest! |

<p>That's what I thought. I wonder what the designers for the W211 were thinking when going with the rolltop wood thing. I love the interior color combo in the first pic. Elegant.</p><p> Oh, and the increase in the size of the COMAND screen is nice.</p>

Elegant. Oh, and the increase in the size of the COMAND screen is nice. The really MONUMENTALLY stupid thing about the 211 interior is the velour door thresholds. As another observer put it, "What WERE they thinking???" The only solution is to ScotchGuard it to death the moment it leaves the showroom. I wasn't fast enough. My dog was, though |

Running right along where the plastic and metal are, where you step into the car. They have soft fabric and it's one of the dumbest things MB has ever done... |

Ohhh, we have that too I think. But ours doesn't go through abuse. The stainless steel sill plate is getting scratched pretty badly though. |

My picture kicks ass. Too bad I didn't get in the back and get a bigger view. Man I love this color combo. Too bad the speedo only goes up to 160, but this is just the 350.

Oh, and the increase in the size of the COMAND screen is nice.
Are you talking about the replacement of the (interim) Audio 50 head unit with the COMAND head unit? Otherwise, I don't think the COMAND screen size has changed any... |
