BMW: We are going to ruin 60+ years of our brand and car design history.
Mercedes designer: Hold my beer.
outside: boring, soapy, looks like a generic rental
inside: designed by a teenage gamer from 1998
Long live classic mercedes.
/sigh
That interior. No words.
I snapped this wheel a while ago, not sure what’s even going on here. Rim inserts with patterned logo?
“Well, there are only a few logos on the car.”
Designer: Say no more!

The design of the new Mercedes reminds me of a blob of melting cheese, left out in the sun.

That 220 was on the cutting edge of bling for its time- chrome around the headlights, hood ornament, chrome around the windows, a chrome strip down the side, chrome around the ac outlets, chrome door handles, chrome around the dials and every switch, the biggest logo you’ve ever seen on a wheel… no big surprise Mercedes is using LED trim- the latest in flashy technology!
I agree the new EQS does look have that too-smooth late 90s Ford look to it- and the interior looks like the perfect place to play Starcraft '98.

Oop, better stop at the next station. Looks like we require more Vespene gas.

Mercedes build quality has been subpar for over a decade now. Luckily, their buyers rarely check out Nissans.
Ticky Tack plastic creaks match everything else in their plastic home environment, all checks out.
I find it odd that you can buy Mercedes SUV’s assembled in Mexico.
Why would you find odd to have Mercedes assembled in Mexico?

It’s only the GLB (Mercedes’s entry-level SUV) that’s assembled in Mexico in a joint venture with Nissan. Nissan originally opened the plant to build cheap cars like the Sentra. Apparently the partnership may not last much longer.
Yes, I know they produce an SUV in Mexico. I’m curious to know why YOU would find it odd, are you making a comment on Mexico?
I had a 1999 VW GTI that was assembled in Mexico. Ran just as well as my prior two DE-built GTI’s. Old news by now.
I have a 2009 Jetta built in Mexico. Other than the smog pump, it’s been bullet proof. No creaks in the interior.
It just feels odd, same as with anything that’s new, not a comment on Mexico. The GLB was introduced as a 2020 model and is the first Mercedes passenger vehicle assembled in Latin America. Daimler doesn’t count Aguascalientes as one of its facilities, it’s still considered a Nissan assembly plant.
