2005 S class ?
What do you think ? I like the elegant front end, but the rear end doesn't look good.

Agreed, the front looks pretty nice. The tail end, I like a car with a bit of "back" to it. Though this design is probably aerodymanic.
Seems to me that various manufacturers are modeling the whole line after the flagship car. BMW 7 & 5 and if I didn't know better, I'd say Nissan/ Infinity have only one sedan.

Back is still better than the new 7 though

Looks like it will take some time for people to accept the S-class with the new, sportier front shape and stance, and the new integrated fog lamps. It might be the angle of the pictures taken, but the wheelbase seems shorter than the current S.

Bah, people say the same thing about the Maybach, assume it is copying Hyundai.
But Hyundai is the company which is always copying european designs, so why should the europeans suddenly quit their designs because some korean manufacturer likes to copy them (anyway)?

I agree. It looks very nice, I like the direction they are moving now with this car. The current S doesn't look as "substantial" or "imposing" like the previous version of the S class.
