How the Germans have fallen

How does anyone think replacing the dashboard with 20$ chink tablets is an upgrade

Because normies and “muh infotainment”

Hardly. This new G-class will sell like hot cakes.

>because tesla
Well they literally just took the S-Class interior and stuck it in thr G-Class. Mercedes thinks the S-Class is so good that every other product they make should be based off of it.

The tablets sticking out of the dashboard is real fucking ugly. Mazda is the worst I've seen. Really hope that's only an option as I do want to buy an mx-5...

...

They really ruined a nice-looking interior with that tacked-on tablet.

I actually like this

>lambo
oh what a surprise!

Not because its a lambo I just like how they did the center console and the interior in general

I think you can retract that screen.

>spot_the_difference.jpg

kek, it's a boyracer audi

Very Nice. Will sell like hotcakes.

audi is king of kino interior

I like the screen's integration into the interior, but I fucking HATE the "no buttons just use the touchscreen for everything" approach.

>real knobs
>small integrated screen
>physical metal key

Why dont more automakers follow the 4runner's lead?

Because WAAH OUTDATED NOT FUTURE ENOUGH

wew lad

This never looked good, like ever. Its a sloppy approach into the luxury section

Perfection

>lcd gauge clusters
>""""""luxury""""""

call me a pleb but I really enjoy my base model mustang GT's interior (2014). The dash is simple and muted colors for the most part and the A/C controls and music is analog knobs and not a gay ass screen.

>in every modern luxury car
>luxury

I don't think it looks particularly good, but the functionality is there when in most cars it's lacking nowadays. I like real buttons and knobs, not a fingerprint-covered gook tablet.

umm yes, american luxury

Not an option, and no it cannot be retracted. Worst of all, no androidplay or Apple CarPlay yet. That said, only the radio is controlled in the info and you can get through it quickly. Climate controls are still dials and buttons

...

>within 10 years every dashboard will be replaced by a tablet

Sorry, but that's just too bright. Exhausting to look at. The interior frames the exterior, and a bright interior just distracts from the exterior.

...

>a nice-looking interior
>sideways cabinet thing

I disagree.
That's too minimalistic for my taste.
More buttons and gauges = better

wtf does that even mean, I've seen way brighter interiors.

Even though it looks tacky af, i still kinda like it
5/5 breddy gud

It's utility over luxury, stop being a kike.

Remove this unexplainable chunk of shit and i'd like it

Thats for keeping your bitch of a wife from changing the A/C

i still prefer this

just

Look at that right vent. It looks so cheap! The color of that interior would make it aging badly.

nothing is luxurious about lcd gauge clusters. they all look extremely outdated like they are from 2006. A fucking psp home screen still looks more modern than these things.

And they wont be timeless like a ls400 gauge cluster would be

Just

what a time to be a live

>timeless like a ls400 gauge cluster would be
your taste is absolutely shit

>a dedicated ANIME handle

The AC vents fucking bend when you adjust them, the knob is glued to the slat.

Coming to Skodas 2019.

>never seen an ls400 gauge cluster in person

does that lcd slide into the dash? because that's an AMAZING interior if that lcd hides away

>random poorfag autist knows better than every luxury automaker
>cites a generic 90's Toyota dash as an example of "timeless design"
kek

>Defender cucked by redesign
>G-Wagen stays the same
Checkmate chavs.

That $20 chink tablet never slide into the dash. If you want this, buy Audi car.

it is more capable and less expensive.

glass cockpits are going to be standard in even the worst shitboxes in 10 years.

the only real downside is that car development times are really long and electronics are usually done first. so car electronics are always years behind normal consumer stuff like phones and tablets.

nope, and deal with it, lexus fancuck. see

I need to get a 190E again

IT'S NOT THE SAME, IT'S WIDER NOW, IT'S RUINED

few inches wider. hardly ruined

>2017 LS400

You can't fit any part onto any year of G-Class anymore, therefore it is in fact ruined.

No, you can. the handle from old G-class will work fine on the new one.

the chink tablet on the 2nd gen Caddy CTS slid into the dash

the indians don't have any original ideas. they're running off Ford's old designs still

You're now required to say "punch it, chewie" every time you put it in drive

Thats the best they have now? The same brand that built this interior 15 years ago.

it's actually pretty nice, it puts the screen in view without needed a yao ming height dashboard

oh man I had an 190E as a gift from my grandfather who passed away
I smell him from that pic
That automatic did exactly what I wanted it do, unlike my later bmw e60
when taking a turn from standstill and you floor the gas more and more the benz would keep 2nd gear until I slightly lifted and then you hold on for dear life when it upshifted
my shit bmw box just upshifts while upping the gas it does the opposite of what you want
tbf the bmw is a far better cornering car. that benz will take your head off the second you get a little confident in it.

>Spyker.jpg

looks like a goddamn plane

i fucking hate these dragon dildo gear selectors so damn much

what a meme

I'm out.

Looks like a 10 year old base model commodore with an aftermarket head unit

Any tips for maintenance on one?

t. potential 190E buyer

That's why only dindus and /or octagenarians drive Benzes nowadays.

>what a time to be a live

God would I love a 190e.

God that's hideous.
