I cant deny that I am criticizinging one of the best prestigious cars all ovwer the world
and I hope to owne a S-clsss MB
but all what I want to say is that the designer of the new S-class sacrified by the MB character , so when u see the new S-class for the first time it is not easy to recognise it as a MB
may be it looks like an English car specially from its back
thats all waiting for your respectable opinion

Absolute shame....it looks like Lincoln Towncar of some sort. What the hell happened to the dash??? and i am sure it drives like an isolated lexus LS430.
Dammit, I guess I ll be getting a 745i in the future, at least that car has character like no other.

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
Thanks for posting. Very interesting comparisons of the interior. As with any new model change this one will become a classic in its own due time, but will take some getting used to at first. As to exterior styling I feel the W221 is an improvement from the rear and side views, but like the lighting treatment better on the current S.

What part of Cairo are you from? I have family there, and have been there 5 times in the past 15 years, lot has changed. Last time I went was 2002 i think. Took a cruise down the nile to Aswan...amazing time.

I have a question for you all. Did Mercedes rid the S-Class of coach lights after the W140 series? I am aware of the fact the 116, and 126 possessed them. But I did not see them for the 220 nor the 221 in the posted pictures.
I responded on the aforementioned thread. I will post again here, in the same light as before.
The new S-Class seems small inside with an obvious lack of headroom and frontward legroom. The exterior is reminiscent of a Volkswagen with Ford Focus fender flares. The rear, despite the Bangled trunk, looks similar to a Chrysler 300C. The front is, again, much like a Focus.
It's ugly, and has no soul or charm from pictures. I will never appreciate it as a work of art.
I don't know how many of you are like me. Once I am turned off from a car model, no matter how much time passes, it still seems as ugly as it did when I first took notice. Cars do not "grow" on me. And they never will, indeed.
