That is the what makes the 928 interior.

Maybe if a 928 dash had those Jager round air vents in bright silver. Not feeling it.

The upper half of that two-tone looks more like a Ferrari 612 dash.

In short, it looks like ****.

Here is a preview of the AMG GT that will have the two tone dashboard shown in the second picture:

That's a technical feature - not a visual one.

Take another look at the dash of the new C-Class (first picture), and imagine it without the "hood" at the top. The overall shape of the console is similar, even though the trim sits on top, rather than recessed inside. But the console flows into the dash in a similar way, and the glove box lid is shaped in a similar way.

I did not say it's the same - I said it's a new interpretation of the 928s dash and console layout.

Sure it is, the pod on the 928 sticks out as it's own unit, that is a very unique design feature I've never seen on another auto.

This Mercedes, like all other new cars, the "pod" is molded into the rest of car along with the dash.

I can see a dashboard future where there's a tablet that is the shared center console, another that's the gauge binnacle in front of the driver, and maybe another for the passenger. They's need to be industrial-strength versions of then-current consumer pieces, able to withstand the temperature extremes and vibration/impacts in the automobile environments without flinching. After that, it's up to stylists to decide the trim and color choices. MMI engineering is at least as much of an art as it is a science.

A few months ago, we enjoyed a local CalTech theater recreation of a radio drama, subject was N. Tesla's immigration and employment history. We had the pleasure of sitting next to a Tesla engineer, who's specialty is the little audio alert signals used in the cars. That's the chimes, dings, buzzes and blips that gently remind you that a door is ajar or your shoelace is untied. Sounded fascinating, but most interesting to me is that we have so much focus on the 'driving experience' that we need a dedicated staff working just on the aural component.

I suspect that Audi is at the top of the current pile when it comes to getting maximum benefit from minimum operator input for onboard electronics. This area will gain more and more attention, as focus is brought to minimizing driver distractions. Seems like a race to isolate the driver from that nasty outside world with more and more sound deadening, making it more convenient to send and receive text and voice messages, while protecting the driver from all the dangers that this isolation inherently masks.

The Lowrider mini steering wheel seems nice, still don't like the vents.

James Bailey

Do you turn that wheel or use it like a joystick ??

The OP pic looks much more like a Panamara interior than a 928.
