Don't worry - the pic is a photoshopped E-Class with lights from the BMW Mini.

It sells! People want to see pictures/controversy whether its real or not. Why do tabloids have all of those outgrageous stories even though they are 99% bs?

Here's one set of outrageous photoshops that was shown in the auto mags. This is the one that has many parts of the W211 E-Class mixed with the Mini.

This is the older (also outrageous) set of photoshops. These pics were taken from MBSPY (www.mbspy.com), which has a whole nice page proving that these are baseless p-shops. BTW these were also published in a lot of auto mags.

As MBSpy shows, that pic was obviously photoshopped from the MB press photo of the C-Class shown below:

This is another 'interesting' and IMO ugly pic from this group. The creator seems to assume MB will copy BMW's 7-series hump, which I find kind of funny considering the original idea for the hump seems to have come from one of the MB design proposals (rejected) for the W220 S-class. I'll post pics of those if anyone want them - MBSpy also has them under 'W220 Design studies' I believe.

I've seen all those photoshops before, but the newest Motor Trend has a real picture of the S-class. But it is a small pic and is pretty well camouflaged so you can't tell much about what it will look like.

Those photshops are horrible though. That one rear view is the current S with an E-class rear bumper and a 745 trunk lid. I doubt they're gonna follow after BMW with that ugly trunk lid. And the rear view right above this post looks like it is an E-class with that same ugly trunk lid.

It's the April issue with '05 Corvette on the cover. The S-class pic is on p. 40, but it's pretty small
