Many dealers got some in stock over the weekend:

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!!!

Which dealer was that?

those pictures are from http://www.benzblogger.com/

the least you could do is acknowledge where you got them.

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

Me too.

I never claimed to have taken the photos myself...

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

Did anyone notice the S550 w/ AMG package seems to get sport pedals now?

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...

i like the LEDs in front...
tail lights, i can get used to...
exhaust tips seem to be derived from W212 but better!

Looks GREAT!

Exhaust tips remind me of Lexus LS 460

My thoughts exactly...

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.

Nice catch, I didn't see that. Looks good though!

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