It is personal preference; I find the new car interiors brash and garish . Don’t like the dash and I hate cluttered steering wheels .Putting to one side the nostalgia, every new model of S-Class has moved the game on; go and drive a W222 S500 back to back with the W140 S500 and tell me which one is “nicer”.
I was sitting at traffic lights last night and a Jag XJ6 crossed in front of me , followed by a new E class , and I couldn’t help but think what a lovely , elegant car the Jaag was , and how much I hate new cars .
Before anyone says , I’m not a huge fan of the looks of the W140 from side on ; I’d rather still have a W126 , but try finding a good one nowadays without all the age related faults .
