The thing I can't stand on Mercs is their ugly UI, which they've kept even in this day and age:

One time I got in one of their cars in a car show, and the display kept popping up a modal dialog "To use X, please connect a phone". I get it, you told me 5 seconds ago!

It's insanely ugly. I rented a cla200d in Germany a couple years back and just assumed it looked chintzy because I had the low-rent cardboard interior rental company model.

... Until I saw the same font and graphics on a $100k+ AMG E class at the auto show being advertised as NEW.
