I've never been much of a fan of Porsche interiors, but Mercedes have always felt quite intuitive to me, and very comfortable seating. I quite like the central wheel thing they've had forever, more so than the new touch pad thing I've seen on the newer models. I also prefer buttons and other physical interactions over touch screens though, never quite understood why they are the new hot thing. The big screen in the Tesla just made me stressed, and I couldn't use it while driving because of the need to look at the screen. Maybe this goes away with time, but I find the same with the big touch screens in the new Volvo models as well.

Touch screens are really bad to use on uneven roads too, where bumps will make you accidentally press whatever and now all my fans are at 100% and I don't know how to fix it...

Tactile interfaces matter on the road! Car touchscreens are a modern trend that needs some evolution.

I really like the combination of Mercedes rotary wheel/button interface with a Apple CarPlay, it's pretty much my ideal interface. Huge icons and text, not a lot to clutter, and a simple and consistent input mechanism. The wheel is great, and comfortable. A few more buttons for things like temperature control and seat/mirror adjustment and I'm set in terms of non-steering column interface.
