Well, I didn’t really expect them to announce it or anything, but I haven’t seen any pictures or videos of it anywhere, that’s why I was asking.
I'm sure we'll get to see all the exciting features when the car is closer to production. I don't believe there are any interior videos at the moment as that has probably not yet been finalized.

" Lighting and attention to detail express a unique aesthetic in the LS. A new approach to creating trim elements again turned to Japanese culture, combining traditional Japanese aesthetic with advanced manufacturing techniques. This is reflected in signature touches, such as beautiful interior ambient lighting inspired by Japanese lanterns and armrests that appear to float next to the door panel."

Hopefully there's a delete option for it. I don't care how much Mercedes tarted it up, it was originally a Scion feature and not upscale or luxurious in any way.

To each his own opinion, but I personally feel when driving at night, ambient lighting looks quite nice, and even has a psychological impact. Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and there were glow in the dark stickers on the wall lol.

If you don't like ambient light - disable it. It's a choice.

It's not there as a gimmick, it's to illuminate areas of the car that are usually dark at night as well as probably make the glass and origami silk door trim look even better at night.

A bunch of pals and current LS owners were not super impressed with the 2018. That is until they saw it at the Atlanta Auto Show.

I truly feel it is something you have to see in person.

I totally agree I didn't like it that much until I saw it at NAIS.
