it is pretty good, u r right, but after sitting in an XJ recently, i really have to say Merc interiors have lost the plot in many ways.

Ah!! Jag interiors, yes! A good friend of mine has just part ex'd his 211 for an XF. What a car! Beautiful inside, wonderful smooth, quiet 3.0 diesel. Fabulous car. I'm a little green if honest! 
I could never have an XF for one simple reason - the new 'diagonal' Jaguar badge really irritates me!

Agreed! Much prefer the old round one. But the rest of the car is really nice!

Nothing a few seconds with a screwdriver couldn't fix...
Dillon - lovely motor mate. I really like the colour combo, but having said that I do agree with Fred that the dash could have done with some tan colour to make the wheel and gear selector look a little less out of place!
My first XJ-S was a very similar paint colour.

Nice but the wheel and selector lever would be black and then it would be perfect

Very nice, quite like the colour combination I don't imagine we'll ever see another S5 like that which is always good.. Looked at one in [shock] sprint blue before I got my E cab, found the ride and handling too.. lardy? I like the sharper ride I've got in my E cab though so it's not an issue for me others may be put off by that.
How's the interior quality? I've not had any rattles/creaks for a while but fully expect some to develop, fit and finish in Audi's are supposed to be good so does it suffer with the whole frameless door and convertible roof creaks?

the softness of the trim was impressive, admittedly the dash shape is not great in the audi, but the e class to me just appears too angular..
audi feels great, and i did not feel any rattle. the car felt very rigid..
i think the merc was more rigid overall, but i could not fault the audi

At the risk of repeating myself the E class coupe shares its underpinnings and wheelbase with the first C CLASS W204 with its poor man's "adaptive" suspension the flawed "agility control package" . There are signs that the latest facelift model of the C class has improved in that respect so hopefully this will percolate through to the E class cabriolet. So I 'm not surprised you found the Merc "rigid".
