While so far development engineers at Mercedes had gone to fairly extreme lengths to protect the styling from prying eyes, […] More »

Next in line on the update schedule for Mercedes is the S-Class. Mercedes’ big sedan has some big shoes to fill as the death of Maybach and and the discontinuation of the CL have left two gaping holes in the Mercedes-Benz line-up.
