When's the new body style comming?
Is it this year?
I'm getting ready to commit to getting a 2001 S class but if the new one are comming in a few months I probably should wait...
So any dates? pics?
Thanks!

I am pretty sure its an 06 model, though myself I wish the W220 was staying until MY07. I dont really want to see a mercedes with column shifter and MBs I-DRIVE of their own. Though who knows maybe it will be really great, but I am skeptical right now. I hate column shifters!!!

As it may show in those spy pics (I don't think there have been recent updates of spy shots for a while now), maybe it'll change or just not even be true. Some spy shots have been known to be wrong 
Just hope in this case

w126 > w140 (for me anyway) Just don't like something about the w140, not sure what though. W220's are fine looking cars, especially with the sport package.

Should also disagree about Lexus styling...
IMHO - Lexus/Toyota's designers (regardless of the car quality/durability) have no taste what so ever...
Look at new LS430, for example... All design lines are copied from leading European car manufacturers, and the result - unnoticable car with no charachter of its own...
I do not wish to start a MB/Lex war here - just my opinion on design issues...
