Same reaction... It baffles me that MB has to copy BMW & Toyota. The only problem with Benz is reliability. Benz has always made good looking evolving cars.

THe exterior's too toned down. Makes the car look weak and meak.

Meh, well it's not for me, this new S-class. Lookswise, I'd take the A8 over the S or the 7er if I was in the market for a limo.

What the f**k happen to the interior.................there gotta be something screw up at imageshack, they 'misplaced' the 7 series interior pictures instead ..

It's dull.

The exterior looks okay, but I don't like the interior.

Over on MBworld guy said that Command will be hard drive based. Hmm could this possibly mean that one will be able to burn CDs into the car? Maybe even watch Top Gear videos. This S-Class will surely be the Tech leader in its class, the exterior will probably look better with AMG help, and some brabus smoked out tail lights.

The wheel arches look really forced. Not good at all. I also don't care for the new rear light treatment either.

Exactly. Even the big grill can't scare people off with Benz and BMW sharing the "same" interior.

I don't mind the styling of this car at all, infact i think the rear looks quite nice - Evolutionary. The pictures probably don't do it justice; IMO i expect this car to have a pretty grand presence on the road. Not sure about the interior though, nothing unexpected.

Time to update. The W221 S-Class is actually an extremely nice interior, much better thant he 7 series, or A8 in my opinion.

Also for Us Buyers disturbing news

Another technology aimed at reducing rear-end collisions is the so-called adaptive brake light. Basically, it strobes when you brake hard. Mercedes claims that its research shows a marked reduction in rear-end collisions when cars have the blinky brake lights, but the U.S. government stands unmoved; the system will be offered on all S-classes everywhere else in the world, but in the U.S., only a limited number of S600s with the technology will be sold because it isn't approved for widespread use.

Now for the update pics
