Top Gear TV hasn't tested it yet- it'll probably be next season if they well. They did discuss it in the "News" section, covering the technologies found in it. Clarkson joked about the possibility of a massage option of "Vietnamese Sandwich", where the other seat covers itself in oil and rolls on top of him =)

Mercedes all the way!
ah, glad to see some positive reviews of this luxo-barge. DAMN i love the mood lighting underneath the wood.

for once, i find the review to be slightly over-optimistic (in contrast to the usual Merc reviews which tend to be over-critical). photo-realistic display? i don't know, but it's quite clear from the picture that it's a screen. then again, perhaps seeing the real thing will blow me away one thing i know: it's time to start looking for a buyer for my S350L hehe.

No they seem to be the Mercedes exclusive S600 polished alloys.

The "double star" on the W221 is not the first time

Look at these pics (if I figured out the right way of attaching them....)

The "double star" was done before on some impressive MB's

I'm not too keen with the new design for the moment. I'm targeting late next year for a change over to either an S-class or 7 series. For now I'd have to say it might be the 7 series. However, the new S might look a lot better in the flesh....

It does. I was behind a LWB version last night in what looked to be Pewter. I must say it looks a lot better in dark colors, like black, but it's still not a bad looking car even in silver. It's light years ahead of the BMW's inconsistant, Banglized styling, that's for sure.

The interior looks awesome at night, but I've seen other pictures of it and it just looks like a 7-series interior to me. I liked the W220 styling much more than the W140, but this one will have to grow on me.
