Too early for me do decide yet. Not enough showing. One thing I can say is its still a large car. Thats a good thing that they dont make it smaller unlike alot of other newer cars.

Next to impossible to tell anything about the exterior of that stupid mule. Does anyone know when they will unveil the car? Geneva starts 3/8/2012. That might be too soon, who knows.
About the interior, it seems the virtual displays are becoming the norm, like BMW did with the 7-Series. It's not bad, if done properly (which, in an S-Class, you know will be executed perfectly).
There appear to be some buttons between the main instrument cluster and the secondary display screen. I can't tell what they are - the one at the top looks like a "seat." On the bottom, it appears to be the display brightness control knob. The damn "teamspeed" logo is blocking the rest.
The climate control buttons appear to be straight out of the W221, but those may be temps. Same with the HVAC vents - those might be temps (god, I hope so). Looks like the clock goes from square to round. I hope it's a designer clock (like the IWC from the AMG line).
The "floating" steering wheel is kinda funky.
Check out that driver's door, with the seat controllers. Futuristic looking, no?
I believe it is apparent that the designers will stick with the steering-column mounted gear shift lever. Doesn't bother me, now that I'm used to it.
I agree that it still looks like a large car, which is good news to me.
