As for the quality of the W212 interior, almost every automotive journal review that I have read (inc. British, American and Canadian articles) offers compliments on the high quality of the E Class sedan's interior.
Perhaps he was comparing it to the F10. I've sat in both the W212 and the F10 for a while and thoroughly checked out everything about both. While I agree that the W212 is very nice, it does not come anywhere near the F10. The W212 is an improvement over the W211 (my dad has it so I can compare), but the F10 is a "revolutionary" (maybe that's too strong a word) improvement over the E60. So the F10 really does come out on top in terms of interior quality.
