| If you look at the reviews the W201 got at it's introduction, rather than comparing it to more recent cars, I think you'll find that it got good marks for its interior design.
- The 190 interior is comfortable and very well made, but it is cool to the touch and the eye in the German tradition.
- This wasn't a new automobile so much as a perfect seven-eighths scale model of the acclaimed S-Class cars. All the trappings were in place: the matte black steering wheel big enough for a bus driver, the traditional Mercedes instruments, the burnished panel of exotic zebrawood, the zany array of climate controls.
- Intrumentation and interior layout are both sheer Mercedes - for lovers of the breed no more need by said. It is simple, clear and oozes quality in a way which conservative buyers will appreciate. Only the Germans can combine sound ergonomics with good looks in this manner. |
