The only thing fussy about the interior to my eye is the steering wheel. Lots of buttons on there, like most all vehicles nowadays. I think the interior as a whole is vastly improved... especially in the trim packages that do away with the hard plastic upper door panel. And yeah... for anyone keeping track, I mention that in almost every post.

Yeah I haven't been in an S550 yet, but from everything I've seen and read it's hard to fathom not acknowledging the new interior isn't a HUGE leap in quality and styling over the outgoing interior.

My comment about the "fussy" interior was most specifically about the steering wheel and dash. Yes, the steering wheel has more buttons, and since it is smaller in diameter, it looks crowded. There are more buttons, toggles, shiny things and the round vents/gauges seem just stuck into the middle of the dash. It's just kind of complex looking....so I said fussy.


The model I sat in was a 5.0 with the 50th Anniversary package (not the limited 50th edition), which gives the car an interior upgrade and some other appearance features. I will say that the seats and door panels were very nice.


As others have said, a test drive may make a whole lot of difference.
