it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner this is an AMG 63 s-class 2014 the first
production year of this current generation, and it sounds cool and stuff
but I'm a nobody so I won't be driving this around, I mean we're at the dealer
auction here, but there's a few interior things that I want to show you, because
when we really get into it it gets really special, and if you've got OCD
typically I'd say tune away but because this is an s class, you're going to be very
satisfied, now the s-class can satisfy your OCD because the fit and finish in a
car like this is just impeccable, as good as it gets really, when we look at the
materials and how it all comes together the detail it's just beautiful, this time
around Mercedes took some inspiration from the English with the piping, you'll
see these tabs switches they're just perfect perfectly flush, my goodness I
just hope that the camera is steady enough we are really close ladies and
gentlemen, some might say too close, I want you to notice something with the
design decision, notice how the buttons functions are not carved onto the
buttons themselves, but rather they're presented to you in a black glossy field
above the actual button itself, I wouldn't say they're merely presented
they're displayed like in a gallery I mean in most vehicles an analog
clock is a pure afterthought, do you get that impression here, this is actually
perfection ladies and gentleman you can control the majority of this car from
here, this really is like a throne for your palm, everything is at your
fingertips, volume with your pinky and here you know what you can delegate, of
course to get to the details buttons and back the buttons, the buttons worked very
well into the steering wheel design, coming
around here everything actually is tucked in perfectly, properly straight no
gaps, no imperfections, look at orgasmic you're correct
now OCD people mind you nothing is perfect, the veneer doesn't quite meet
the panel perfectly and look even worse the accompanying aluminum strip does not
end quite where the veneer, this to the perfectionist it's a little
unsettling, but I guess if these kind of things bother you you're crazy
and look at the proportions, it's a little bit bulbous a little outrageous I
like it, well unfortunately this is vent is cracked in, this is pretty
flimsy, that design with the toggle tab switches it continues, enough of the
details take in the big picture yes yes yes
you know what top stitching there's a timeless elegance about it
what can I say obviously the armrest very legit, the
veneer they made it into two pieces, I mean are we expecting this to be one
piece, I mean as a non customer am I expecting too much, you know maybe I
didn't want this to be one piece, - a point here guys I can't let this one go,
the seat belts that have air bags in them yeah they're thick you can feel that
there's stuff inside, the stitching is elaborate I can confirm, oh it's called belt
bag the back of the headrest look at this,
this is top stitched leather covered plus one right there, well let's see if
there's any luxury details we feel crazy about in the trunk, of course the opening
mechanism well covered you don't see any hinges or joints none of that stuff, it
really just looks like someone simply took some scissors and went cutting
along here and matched it in and you got like a finished product that looks like
this, really on the flimsy side nothing to brag about but I mean this is everybody,
the roof of the truck doesn't have paneling
what pressing questions I ask, and yes you see on this Bentley first of all we
get this very thick fabric, but the way it's done it's nice, it's not just cut liner,
it's very nicely tucked in, but look at this trade off, the s-class was
all covered up the trunk, the trunk is massive, okay
since we're here we may as well have a look, here we have a 2010 Flying Spur
I'll tell you this much they don't age as well, the veneer is cracking
everything is just leather wrapped and the places where nobody cares, nobody
looks, you know what I'll take the leather ceiling over the Alcantara, look
at this corner the design language and execution for the Mercedes
day and night difference of course necessarily better, I mean look at this
leather handle very decadent this is one interestingly shaped piece here that
they have, anything else I can pick about just slick, so anyway folks I think
that's enough details, for those of you who are crazy about this stuff you're
welcome, for those of you who think I'm crazy for caring about this stuff, well
maybe you're right darling danke Schoen, thank you for all
