PICS, NEW S-CLASS SPOTTED IN NYC (exiting Lincoln Tunnel)

Body looks like a Lexus to be honest. Also looks small. Still nice. Jerk driving was purposely avoiding, pissed me off.

it does, indeed, look like a Lexus, particularly from the front. I['ve pointed this out before.

That is one ugly car.

I think they sometimes give us misinformation intentionally just to see the public reaction.

on a side note: I was thinking about an airfreshner mod myself, but I couldn't choose between a palm tree and a pine tree.

*****, I CAN'T FIND IT.

Caught a nice pic of the future S63 in silver this weekend....I thought it looked sweet.

Benz sure is the master of spy shot camo...that car sure looks rough...

It will kill though...for sure.

Too much cash on the line....they have researched it to death.

Frankfurt only a few weeks away baby...it's comin!!

I saw one driving around like it, I didn't know what it was. I thought it was the next Lexus LS. Up til now, I got my Motor Trend just few days ago, it showed the new S class, I am stunned. Cuz when I saw the car in person, my thoughts were that I think it's ugly and not very stylish.

why is he a jerk? i think you are a jerk by annoying him with your phone camera up his face while he's trying to drive. pissed you off?? by just trying to drive where he needs to go? obviously his job is not to show you what that car is because it has black masking tape all over the car.

Damn you must really need some glasses. I too will be trading in my 04 TL w/ A-SPEC for the 05 RL by this friday once it comes in, and I sure as hell dont think it looks like an RL.

My prescription is just fine, how about yours? Congrats on upgrading to the RL, I love it so far.. but I just put a deposit on a C6 Z06 so it may not be around for too long.

The only thing in common that I see with the RL is the Bangle trunk.

05 ML 350 SE, 05 MCS, I'll look for one of those on the road since we're both in Jersey, and you will be annoyed by this jerk when I see you, for sure.

Anyway, take that S-CLASS to a private road, otherwise, new car junkies like myself are gonna be all over you. And the black tape, that's just like having a red/white target. It's like striking gold, and most people understand this, lol.

99% of people in car forums appreciate spy shots.

49th and 5th Avenue Saturday 8/13/05 about 4PM. We started jaywalking (crossing 49th) then decided against it after we saw this all black car with electrical tape all over it coming towards us. As soon as the car passed, I realized it was the new version of the S Class. The cool part about this experience was that we were just admiring the present version of the S Class (430 to be exact) parked not 75 feet away from the corner of 49th. It was a thing of beauty.
