the rear end of this s-class looks kinda chunky and klunky doesn't it? or is it the angle of the pix? doesn't appear to be as smooth and integrated as it could be? additional interior wood and new wheel looks great, though!!!

I really like the redesign and refinement of the exhaust setup & back end (sharp & clean).

I love that I've been seeing this since the beginning of the summer. There is one specifically, I've seen over ten times in NJ. The back has a decal that says "werkswagen" on the back of it. DTM plate denotes that it came from MB corp obviously, but it is still cool to see these getting pushed around months before they are released to the public. I've seen the GL 2010 and what appeared to be a heavily wrapped Sirling Moss as of late. Gotta love NJ

I think it's to better align the 2010 S-Class to all the other "angular" 2010 models like the redesigned E-Class and the 2010 C-Class, GLK, ML, GL, etc. MB seems to be throwing out all the graceful curves from its designs lately and going for more "cadillac" styling...

The new, smaller front marker lamps appear similar to the C-class'.

I don't care where you got the pictures. You're giving them free advertisement the way I see it.

It kinda meets Lexus and the old MB tailpipes halfway. IOW, I like them.

Looks sharp in black. Not a fan of the wood spoke steering wheel.
