New Mercedes S-Class - I prefer the one Clarkson designed

Mercedes-Benz have already printed brochures of the new S-Class. The exterior looks good but the interior is still all ruched leather and wood panelling that's so shiny it looks fake.

I much prefer the Jeremy Clarkson designed S-Class interior. His ethos was that you wouldn't have any of the materials found in a modern luxury car in your house.

OK it was dead slow - due to the 2,000kg of concrete on the floor - but it looks superb.

You'll find the video of the episode under the pics.
