Very Maybach-like as it seems, but it doesn't look bad.

iDrive is BMW... i dunno if Merc has a similar system, but they are going to reduce the number of electronics in this model for reliability issues

I don“t know if you already know, but the interieur looks almost similar (ugly) like the one of the 7 series :cry:

Nice PS job on that camo. Not sure if those taillights are right, though they certainly seem possible. It's going to be way sleeker than the current car IMO

Yes, it will most probably look like that, but the back really looks too much Maybach-like for me :roll:

i think this car looks pretty nice,

alot of styling hints from the maybach are present, as evreyone has noticed.

but unfortunatley we will have to wait for the final pics.
