I have to say that while it does look very good, its not a big improvement over the S65/S600 right now. I guess that bodes well for the people buying S65/S600s right now, like me 
, because the depreciation wont be as big when the facelift hits.

2010 CL65
Not a fan of the new mirrors
Like the unchanged 65 exhaust tips
Hope S65 lacks the absurd PanoRoof...silly to try to engineer maximal safety but compromise roof strength in any rollover/serious side impact
Perplexed by 65's archaic Parktronic bulletholes and lack of DistPlus...would think DistPlus is integral to much of the more advanced active safety tech that '10 S/CL allegedly have....

Does your new CL65 not have distronic??
The panoroof actually was a lifesaver for me when I backed into my garage door (which only partially opened). Instead of having paint /body damage, it simply glided along the glass and didn't leave a scratch. Of course I had to have a new antenna but at least because of having a full roof of glass I was spared the agony of an extra $2K of paint/body damage. Kind of a weird reason to be happy though about a panoroof.

I have no doubts in that.. His posts are very informative and provide information that can only be obtained by owning one of these cars. I honestly have no interest in seeing photos of his car.
Anyone know what engine is going in the new S/CL ?

scared of being stalked
the launch of this body will just result in great bargain for those whom are hunting, as am i.
i will not be surprised to see an 08 s65 go for >100k when these are launched. and 07s around 75-85 d/ on mileage. maybe just a bad prediction

Possibly another reason...I have read that radar dectors don't work with the Distronic Plus because they operate on the same frequency. Maybe they figure that many/most S65 owners will need radar detectors because they will be going so f-ing fast 
I like the way the facelift looks, great pics too that is like the motherload, I haven't seen this many facelift pics yet anywhere.

ditto. saw the pictures of the 2010 before I bought my 09. not enough of a difference/improvement to wait. I am interested in seeing what, if any, new standard features it is supposed to get.

A few of the new face lift features (note that this one mentions the split view Comand when the comment was posted already in July, www.jesmb.de):
Im Herbst 2009 kommt das S-Klasse Facelift auf den Markt. Die Assistenzsysteme werden erweitert. Unter anderem wird der Totwinkelassistent um einen Spurassistenten erweitert. Zudem soll das Comand Display so geändert werden, dass der Beifahrer TV oder DVD gucken kann und vom Fahrer aus, im gleichen Display die Navigationskarte angezeigt wird. Des Weiteren soll auch das Nachtsichtgerät in einer zweiten Generation ausgeliefert werden. Ansonsten gibt es eine neue Front- und Heckschürze mit integrierten Endrohren sowie eine neue Frontscheinwerfergrafik mit LED-Blinker. Der Kühlergrill erhält zudem eine markante Spitze.
