I did. And I agree with you, the quality of the interior materials is outstanding (and refreshing).

I imagine that the AMG variant of the new W205 will look even more menacing, as far as the exterior is concerned. I also expect that the gear selector will remain on the center console (as opposed to the steering column) on the W205 AMG.

With a biturbo 4.0L V8, and either the MCT or a proper DCT, that car will be devastatingly quick.

From what I've heard, the next-generation W205 AMG will remain RWD.
