Stylistically, it reminds me of
a 50s attempt at a futuristic vehicle.

[cookieman]

- How many stars do we put on the car?
- YES

[Mancooo]

The interior looks like a Turkish wedding hall 😂

[MysteriousTony]

The interior looks like a 70s bowling alley. I was expecting a bowling ball to roll out of that chrome center console. The exterior is perfect.

[SomeUnremarkableGuy]

This looks something like Louis Vitton would make. Just replace star symbols with LV sign.

[jasondickens]

It's nice to see what Mercedes did in the front grille department. Rather than go with an EV flat slab on front, Mercedes has given the front grille some personality and some depth and dimensionality. Job well done. When you were sitting in the rear seat it was obvious that comfort will be a challenge for someone of your height. The rear seat cushion is too low because your knees were so far upright due to the low seat cushion position rather then the natural square sitting position.

[holgerdziekanski]

The design is great. Especially the proportions and finally a compact electric car. I'm looking forward to the production version.

[exasolar]

Does it have Christmas mode for the lights? 😂

[hyypersonic]

You guys are one of YouTube’s greatest car channels. Everything about your videos is incredible

[benjaminsmith]

All of those 3 pointed stars add up to creating clutter. It looks so forced and terrible.

[GUIGU]

The interior looks like an American diner. IMO

It's interesting that you can see where the production front and rear lightbars will go as there are cut outs for them in the body, but in this concept there is only floating strips in that space.

[matteoponzetto]

5:08 I really appreciate your honesty about animal skin and not following the greenwashing wave

[eal_ppl]

Atleast it looks better than current MBenz's EV's

[PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Interior materials make it look like one of those luxury BATHROOMS.

[infj]

As a designer, the interior is stunning! The screen fading in the panel is beautiful. This needs to see the light.

[serbzero]

Glad they used Mazda's Soul Red Crystal paint on this fine concept, looks great 😂🤗🤣❤️

7:11 As long as there's a physical knob and physical shortcut buttons to control it, I don't mind it at all. Especially if those temperature dials actually rotate to set the temperature, as you mentioned.
With that being said, though, I have to admit that it's a beautiful car as a concept. The "gaming PC thing" looks like a PC cooling system or some sort of CPU cooler.
