I don't think tcc would knowingly pay to use fake images, never seen them do it before.

I like the current one better, but I also think the pic is chopped, but it'll resemble very closely to the real one I think. Any spy pics of the interior ? The last one I see kinda resembles that of the the 7 series

I think the current S-class is beautiful, one of the best looking large sedans ever. From my understanding, the interior maybe revolutionary but the exterior evolutionary.

Look for CLS styling cues, a lower hood, a crease in the side, wheel arches slightly and a Maybach rear. I also heard less electronics since they cause so much trouble.

The fender flares and rims reminds me of the Focus. And yes it does look very Shopped.

IT IS SHOPPED!
Look at the tire and rim size on the first pic and compare it to 2nd. The car is supposed to be the same car as on 2nd pic according to plate.
But what gives it away are the headlights. Those were copy/paste job by somone. They look way too static compared to the rest of the image that is in motion

Indeed. Compare the outline of the headlight in the first pic and the outline of the headlight in the third pic. Look at the upper left corner.. they don't match..
