The G11 in no way will go toe to toe with the S class, it'll be lucky to have the appeal of an e class. |

Although it also looks like a 4 GC at first glance. The engineers might well have swapped the original 3D render with a mock-up for the test prototypes... Just like we've seen the old Audi TT rendered in the virtual cockpit of the new generation before the model was fully revealed.

It is ok. Not very impressed with the interior. But again BMW isn't know for setting the benchmark on interior design. Audi is. Hopefully the chassis won't disappoint and it will be lighter than the current generation.

One of my questions is...........how does the "normal" size person reach the touch screen at its location?
I mean, if you are the size of Shaq with a wing span of 8+ feet, Ok. But the average person is not reaching that touch screen...... What i'm i missing

I know I know its the camo version not the completed final version, but I will say I am disappointment. Not because I dont like the F01 interior, I actually like it a lot, but this new interior from what it seems, again is really nice but just an evolution on the current 7, which is pretty close to the 5. The new S Class interior is actually making me like and consider an MB for the first time. Its just amazing in person. The 7 is nice but its really not in the same class as the S.
As for the touch screen, I am against it. I would rather have a touch pad like the new eNBT has, or a slightly larger pad. I dont like touching the screen on cars, they are too far away and they look like garbage the second you touch them. I am hopeful for the 7, I am sure it will be nice, but not nice enough.

Everything Mercedes does is designed to impress the heck out of Kim Kardashian.
'Nuff said.

I am a huge BMW fan and have never ever liked MB, BUT......I don't care if they cover this entire interior with wood and leather, I think it will fall short of the s-class interior. MB just did an amazing job on the s-class interior it's as if they were aiming for Rolls or Bentley rather than anything in its existing price point.

Wow, these comments are insane for a car that is clearly still in development and under heavy camo.
Here is a thought, what if this dash is just out of a 5er, slotted into the 7er mule for some early testing? Calm down already. |

This design is deliberate to empower the i8 at the expense of the soul of the 7. Every Mile you put on this g11 you will be shamed into not being more environmentally conscious and driving the i8. The message here is that buying the seven is no longer the flagship. |

The 7 hasn't measured up to the S class in quite some time, this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone to be completely honest. They are also nowhere near in price point. 7 STARTS at $74K, whereas the S Class STARTS at $92K. BMW hasn't had a S Class competitor in a long time. Whole different league that S Class...
With that said, I too also am not fond of touchscreen. The OCD in me hates the fingerprints. Glad they are still retaining the touchpad. Finally, BMW has always been to me, considered; "Sport with a dash of Luxury". MB has always been "Luxury with a dash of Sport" (mostly in AMG trim of course ) MB has made much more improvements in the "sport" section, while continuing to develop the spit and polish of their vehicles. It just depends on the consumer, what's more important to you? |

This segment appeals to me in no way.
However based on looks alone and pictures I've seen and comparing the current 7. My money would be better spent on the Mercedes. And lately, this applies every class not just the 7.
