Since leasing is very common now it will explain the reason why car manufacturers are making cars more disposable. Especially manufacturers like Benz. Other car manufacturers are still playing it safe especially the ones that know that their car are been kept for a longer period (Lexus).The car does look impressive to me so far.
The only thing I have to wonder - and it's not EQS-specific - is how cars are going to age as they continue to become rolling computers. We are accustomed to disposable technology like phones, tablets, watches and computers... but we're used to upgrading and getting rid of those things every other year, if not sooner. A car is exponentially more expensive and should be less disposable (traditonally).
There's still a lot of charm in owning a an older S class, or E class, or LS, or GS, or [insert model here]. I just can't see much appeal in owning a 20 year old rolling computer. Maybe that's just me.
Right. That seems like not a great strategy though, because what do you do with the lease returns?Since leasing is very common now it will explain the reason why car manufacturers are making cars more disposable.

But the EQS looks like a cheap digital LCD Casio watch. hahaIf the EQS is a smart watch, the LC is a mechanical luxury watch. That's how I see it at least. There's a lot of similarities when you think about it.
What strikes me the more I see of this car is how 80s it looks everywhere, and not in the cool Countach kind of way. The exterior's a lot like the 1st through 3rd gen Ford Taurus, and the dashboard appears to have been stolen from Star Trek: The Next Generation.But the EQS looks like a cheap digital LCD Casio watch. haha
I’m okay with that.and the dashboard appears to have been stolen from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
That is how I once described Hondas and Acuras when they went through their sea-of-buttons era. I find both the sea of hard buttons and the sea of virtual buttons to be nonintuitive, distracting and potentially dangerous....and the dashboard appears to have been stolen from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
