It's nice to see what Mercedes did in the front grille department. Rather than go with an EV flat slab on front, Mercedes has given the front grille some personality and some depth and dimensionality. Job well done. When you were sitting in the rear seat it was obvious that comfort will be a challenge for someone of your height. The rear seat cushion is too low because your knees were so far upright due to the low seat cushion position rather then the natural square sitting position.

7:11 As long as there's a physical knob and physical shortcut buttons to control it, I don't mind it at all. Especially if those temperature dials actually rotate to set the temperature, as you mentioned. With that being said, though, I have to admit that it's a beautiful car as a concept. The "gaming PC thing" looks like a PC cooling system or some sort of CPU cooler.

@jansimonteambondi143 9 ай бұрын

Great concept with fantastic futuristic styling. Loved the steering wheel, the air vents, the display the doors and the dashboard was a piece of art. This concept is exactly what a Mercedes is - a car that makes the owner and occupants feel very special and in the lap of sophisticated luxury. What I didn't like were the wheels (too many Mercedes stars) and cleaning the interior - it would be a dust/finger print magnet! Another great review Thomas. In comparison with the BMW - both are amazing concepts and both are winners. Anyone would be on top of the world with either car BMW should be commended for returning to beautifully styled cars - the current butt-ugly beaver tooth grille should be giving a quick death.
