C180k for Wifey, SEAT Leon TSi
Wifey's W204 is in for a recall to have it's airbag system checked...
So I had a browse around the models in the showroom. I see all the latest models now have eyeball air vents.
I had those on my Cortina, 40 years ago.
 
I don't know if they're the same across the entire range, but on the A and B class at least (not felt them in the W205 to know if they're made nicer) they feel cheap and nasty. Look smart, but feel cheap.

Ps mine's in for the same recall shortly.
 
They are the same as the vintage Mercs, only not made out of Metal... dont see what the problem is?

I have a W205 and wouldn't say the eyeball vents feel cheap and nasty - although I wouldn't have complained of they were made from aluminium.
 
Still...the new Mercs have a better look to them ..... no?
