The Pullman is a Bit Too Pulled, Man



For a while now, we've known Mercedes was building a one-off limousine that would probably carry the Pullman name. Allegedly leaked images from a patent now show what the super limo may look like ... essentially a terribly stretched S-Class.

I’m sorry, but the supposed price of this car is going to be around a million dollars. That's a million dollars with a pinky finger to the corner of the mouth. What a shame because it looks like every other limo that starts off life as a normal car.

In other words, it looks terrible.

True.
Regardless of anyone's "opinion" though, the fact is that the car above truly looks like a typical limo company conversion, a typical midwestern based company commercial stretch of a sedan to make it a wedding/airport/prom night limo.
For a factory attempt to replace the Maybach it is a horrible fail.

Seeing how much the interior was changed from the 221 to the 222 sedan, I am eagerly awaiting to see what the new interior will look like on this new Pullman.

The 18 inch stretch section looks really really tacky

A w220 Pullman at least looks symmetrical in the side windows

Looks like the "long" version which isn't bad looking

Its the "longer" version that looks like a chop and stretch job

The 18" stretch is quite popular with politicians in the bulletproof version.
Back in 2000 when Putin made a visit to Toronto the Russians flew in 2 S Series and an old Russian built limo that Leonid Brezhnev had used. It was used mainly for high tech communications stuff.
I spent over a week driving the KGB staff around while they were securing the venue for Putin's visit.
I can't find pictures of the Mercedes but have some of the old Russian built ones.






I still drive once or twice a year but nowadays the only stretch's are only for weddings, funerals or proms.
