loving the power, and those muscular fenders. At first glance however I'm not sure how I feel about that front bumper. For some reason the AMG aero seems a bit "too" sporty for the lines of this car, or maybe I'm

I think the BRABUS package flows a bit better. Thanks for sharing

You're not crazy. The lines are not exactly what one would consider clean.

What awesome performance, though. Wow.

I thought the AMG W221 was supposed to be an S 63 AMG - not S 65.

I totally agree with you.
The AMG sport pkg available for S550 (and S350?), however, is much better looking. But I guess MB wants to make a distinction between a "real" AMG and one with just exterior mods.

The rear of the 07 S-Class is just not growing on me. Looks too much like a Maybach and that sounds like me driving my own limo around .. tacky.

It's probably been established already, but MB has no originality from what is depicted in the third picture.
Did they have to use the BMW look???

No one noticed the new S65 has paddle F1 style shifters!
thats new for the for the AMG cars.
That front spoiler was pulled directly from the SL65!

(expect those paddles on the E63 and CLS63 as well)

I think the S65 could have used a better more sporty steering wheel.

those look like more deeply sculpted fenders than the standard S fenders.

Yeah that one looks alot cleaner to me. From the preliminary buzz, I think the Sclass is going to re-claim its throne! The current 7series kind of eclipsed it with the "wow factor" (crazy styling in 02, iDRIVE, 22" wheel feasibility, etc)

This is going to be "veddy veddy interesting!"

If you look at a SL65 you will see that the front spoiler on the S65 is similar but not the same. The outlet on the SL is more of a rectangle than the one on the S and it protrudes a little from the bumper.

Mercedes has no competition, Bimmer cant come close, just have to wait and see what the British will have to bring.

What? In all of my other posts, my picture, instead of the Zonda F, it's a quote saying" You are a cheap ******* who steals other peoples bandwidth" What does that mean?

I think the 221 with the kleeman kit on it is the sweetest version out right now. I dont really like how benz copied the bmw interior, but heck everyone is doing it these days. I also dont like how the drivers display runs all the way over to the navigation screen without any partition. Other than that, I love the car. And this is a person who has sworn not to buy a mercedes. This new s-class may have changed my mind. The rear end awesome, the sportiest rear end ever on a big luxosport. Not having actually driven one I can say that from a distance shes a beauty. Just hope its not a "looks good from afar, but far from good" type of thing.
