w221 style trunk for w220

Now that we have the w221 style tail lights, How about one of you fiberglass body guys do a w221 style raised trunk for the w220. Just mold one with the top raised all the way forward to the rear glass. It will give us more trunk space and a more elegant look. Hey photoshop guys, do your magic and show us what it would look like. Thanks

LOL!

you sure it'd be a good idea to do that?

it might break the curvy lines of the W220.

No! The rear end is one of the beautiful parts of the S-Class.

Yup. Bad idea. Trunk style (in fact, the whole back end including tail lights) is one of the styling features I don't like the W221. Don't like the front fender treatment either.

Best thing I see about it is relocating the COMAND display higher on the dashboard.
