Interesting to watch. However, not a fan of the wheels and looks of the body style. Maybe a different color would help. It did not make me want to buy/order one. Maybe I'm just old or old scholl, but couldn't be happier with the '21 E63s sedan we have. I'll keep watching to see if they introduce a 63 with V8 and electric before saying "never". At some point I may be interested in something with a few hundred HP electric boost over what the 2021 has63 model has. Right now I'll plan on keeping what I have in the garage for a long time.

Why do they have to make electric cars look so ugly...with no engine and less parts on the car wouldn't you think you can make electric cars look even better?

Only electric cars that look good are the Porsches Taycan in my opinion.

I totally don't get this either. I know aerodynamics are a big thing but they all look like ugly eggs. What they need to do is start making retro electric cars like the Hyundai Concept.


Give me an all electric E38 7-series. A W140 Coupe with electric motors. You can literally do anything, why make an EQS???

Agreed. If you want people to switch over to electric, make the cars look like the regular cars in your lineup, you don't need new specific design language just for the electric stuff.

Shove that drivetrain in a regular body S class.
