Oh, man...the interior on that thing looks like JUNK!

The 2008 Caddy CTS is LIGHT YEARS ahead of that turd!

I guess Chery is building Mercedes vehicles too now.

Are you saying that this: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-...-cts-1/127205/ looks better that this: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-...-class/138969/ ?

I hope you're kidding, unless you really like the hard plastic (see dash and steering wheel) combined with wood inserts of the CTS...
Personally, I think the interior of the CTS has one too many materials/colors: beige leather, wood, hard black plastic and satin finish plastic don't all go together!

No, sir, I'm not kidding. Have a look at some other pics. Just LOOK at the cheap plastic in this car, the chintzy looking center stack, and the awkward way the NAV system comes up. What a TURD! Hell, even the Mustang looks better than this!

On the other hand the CTS interior is now on par with Lexus.

Mercedes have really dropped in quality in recent years.

That's OK, I won't hold it against you.

But really, look at the two below shots closely >>

I LOVE my Mustang, but I must ask: really?!

That Mercedes interior is completely unremarkable compared to the competition. And many of the plastics looks cheap.

What can I say?
