Yes, that looks almost just like my 2018 E class interior. I doubt the S class will look like this.

This is the news here...
We’re expecting Mercedes to offer the next S-Class in multiple body lengths, from a short wheelbase right up to the extra-long Pullman. However, there’s a good chance the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet will no longer be offered. Don’t be surprised if the void is filled with a Maybach offering.We should see the first prototypes wearing the actual body of the new S-Class in late 2018 or early 2019. |
They did nothing but posted W222's pictures to fool people ?

This is SOP... test mule (the new platform is covered with an existing body).
It's kinda odd considering seeing heavily camouflaged cars for to conceal upcoming cars ,recently BMW G12 7 Series ,they even used a zebra patterned to the facelift version |
A bit more info on the W223 https://www.motor1.com/news/181628/2...s-class-spied/

Be honest guys (and gals), if you saw a 221 and a 222 side by side back in , say 1999, wouldn't you think the 221 was the more modern version car over the 222? Technology aside.

think the W221 looks quite dated to me. Fender flares were a retro design for MB going back to the sixties. Not modern IMO. Personally I find the W222 much more elegant and understated. Unfortunately, the MY18 headlight design is a step backwards. |
W222 is more streamlined car . I like fender flares in the W221s but they make the car look older yet intimidating .I have never been a fan of pre facelift W221s either ,sorry
|
It will be interesting to see if the W223 has flares, but I doubt it will, unless perhaps they were very mild (I would imagine MB would not want it to resemble the 221 too much).
|
Those flares, as you say, really did distinguish the S class at that time, and still do, whenever I see one it's unmistakable, but I also noticed that in the pics

To me, the W221 was a striking car. Even today, when one goes by, I find myself watching it. I will say that I find the front end to look a bit dated now, but everything from there back is still stunning to me and I find it much more attractive than my 2015. Even with all that said, if I could order my 2018 with a late W221 Body, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I loved the flares, but I especially love the rear end. Don’t even get me started on the fact that the Panorama Roof was optional and there was a jack & spare nicely housed under the trunk floor, where EVERY road going Sedan should have them.:)

I totally agree. The 221 with 222 headlights and 222 technology updates would be my perfect car, post facelift of course. As another member said, 2007-2009 (which I had) was not as nice looking as the refreshed taillights on the 221 ('10 and up).
W222 is just a million times more elegant when on, braking and even during the daytime (old video but still illustrates the lighting design - clearly not as cool as the new OLED S-Class coupe lights :) ) Compared to this: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...c0cdd2e4ca.jpg |
I know that my feelings about the looks of the 221 vs. 222 are based entirely on daytime appearance. I never really noticed how the lights appear at night. Good point, Wolf.
|
Regarding the very cool looking OLED taillights on the new coupe, they can be cockpit configurable in other countries, just not for us.

Some more pics:
http://mercedesblog.com/new-mercedes...ever-pictures/ For the first time, the S-Class will be based on the new rear-wheel drive platform MRA II, because the current model W222 is still based on the further development of the old W221 platform. |
THis thing seriously needs to get some bigger fenders. Looks too feminine.

You're right , not everyone likes fender flares though but I like them
