The Fall of the S-class

I do agree with you about the W220. I owned one of those (S430) and although it was a nice car, it was more Chrysler than Mercedes. In my opinion, the W223 has that feel and experience that an S class should have. It sounds like you are basing your opinion solely on the appearance, and that's not a fair assessment. Go drive one, and then come back and let us know if your opinion is still the same.

I thought the W220 was a great looking car...quality is another issue...
The W223 has grown on me a lot, I love the look from the outside and the interior has grown on me a lot, although there are still elements I don't like. If I can negotiate a deal in the same realm as my W222 when the time comes, I would upgrade to a W223.

My family has had a W140. W220, W221. I had a W223. They all made me feel special driving or just riding in them. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bad car. It's just not for everybody.

While there are some issues of which to criticize the W223 the looks are NOT one of them. It is a damn good looking sedan. If it was polarizing, I could understand it if some disliked it. It is not. It carries on the traditional look of the S Class handsomely. Imo.

And...this forum has active W140 and W221 sections...why have you never posted in them?

You are a terrible troll. Your statements make no sense and you compare things you have no experience with. If you can someday attain true luxury, your view of things will probably change, but that's a big if.
