My S65 photos from Detroit Auto Show

Sorry about the quality. It was pretty dark in this corner because MB was showing a movie on the wall behind the new S display. My flash could only do so much. The doors were locked so I couldn't photo the interior very well. From the front it looks great. From the back I think I like it better than most. But those fender flares - man, what are they thinking?

Except, I liked the S ever since I saw it. Never hated it once.

Here are a couple pictures I took of the exhaust and brakes while I was at the auto show. The car really looks awesome in person.

Thanks for the added pics

The exhausts look like two polished side-by-side shotguns in "65" gauge!

Wow! Those are what I call some brakes!
Nice pics - thanks.
I think that I, like many of the rest of us are just going to have to get used to and accept some of the new styling. I for one am not a fan of the body-color stripes across the tailights, and of the 'bustle' trunk lid styling. But it is one heckuva car...and I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Ooh Baby!

Thanks for the pics!!!

They have an S550 at the dealership here that they called me to come look at. The 65 looks waaaaay better. Just like on all of the current models, the sport package make all the difference in the world.
