2006 Sclass

Hey guys, my dad just put down his name for the 2006 S-CLASS, new body style and everything, and its for my mom. Do any of you know of its whereabouts? Engine, looks, interior, etc.

thanks

I thought the new S-Class will not be introduced untill mid 06 for model year 07.
The new body style will be introduced at the Geneva Show. So when you see it at the 06' Show it will be out shortly therafter.
Any one care to rebut?

The first pic is not too bad although I don't think that is going to be the one.

If the 1st picture is the new S Class I will buy one. I think with wider profile tires it's pretty tight! Hope it isnt as expensive though.

The only actual pic existed so far is this one - first image in the thread (I believe you have to login to MBCanada to use that topic).

All other pics I referred before - just artist imagination....

I wish we had a better picture of the camouflauged car (sp) maybe from the front or back so we could see through the window a little. It doesnt appear to have the hump where the screen would be like the spy shot of the interior. But then again that is not a good angle to judge that from

I think it looks good. But what is it with Benz and Camry's?!!?! The E looks like a Camry from the rear, and the new S also look like a Camry from the side!!!

anooj, how did your dad get the build spot for the next S, sooooo early?

It's sort of true... Especially about W211 from rear - you have to get real close to make sure its W211 and not new Camry

Sounds like a design conspiracy between Toyota / Mercedes-Benz...

No clue, I think we're number one for the Sugarland dealership though. I think it has to do with something with my dad personally knowing the manager of the place..

Again (re: W211 styling)

Front End: Perfect elegant flawless design - I love it!

Sides: Nothing special to tell about, just nicely built lines that have no character in the crowd.

Rear: Design is good and relatively elegant (copied and scaled a little from S-Class), but for some reason it is practically impossible to distinguish W211 from rear (especially from new Camry)
