I don't mind the EQS shape as much as it is not a true S-Class. It's much smaller, biggest fault is entry and exit is difficult. Felt super cramped, size wise the rear seat is terrible and front not much better. I remember the doors being too short with the B pillar too far forward. I'm fairly tall and with the seat back the B pillar was right there.

Just a bad overall design and nowhere close to the size of the S560. My wife and I came away very dissapointed. We didn't sit in any others - if the S was too small why bother.

EQS looks like a stretched MPV , not a replacement to S Class by any means to me . Nowhere near the presence of S Class either .

Well, we all knew the EQS is not the S-Class of EVs, the true S-Class EV will be called S with the corresponding numbers, it won't have EQ.
