    The new Actros is ugly as hell. The inside also looks ugly and where can i put phones etc when driving. I also hate does trucks witch you have to rebuild to be able to sleep. Happily my company will never buy a Actros. Volvo and Scania for me.

    i also think it is ugly but

    maybe it is too advanced for now

    interior look nice to me

    i dont like flat floor that way all water dirt and snow from your shoes can go everywhere in cab

    i like this concept where cab can be converted by lifting bed , in actros seat back is fixed on bunk lower part so you just have to lift bunk and get seat
