That's just copies of alot of different vehicles put together. I cannot believe that Mercedes being one of the ORiginals decides to copy off of goofy-*** brands. And my god, why copy off BMW?? The new vehicles of BMW are just a big fat joke! Look at those things, they look like a friggen shark, man!! They should fire the person who designed the new S-Class for copying off the idiot who made the 7-series. I'm sorry but BMW look a whole lot better before they did that whole new design. Well I hope in the future that Mercedes will come up with their own ideas again, like it used to be!!

--My opinion, that is Ford, BMW, Kia, Lexus, and infiniti in one...scrap I should say.

Looks the same as Autobild's CGI's, mini Maybach with ugly wheel arches , & a copy of 7 series interior & idrive

Interior is 7 series+Front is focus+Rear is 300C = Total CRAP

Not digging the interior...but the exterior is nice. The pics shown is the base model that is always sedated looking. The fender flares will look AMAZING with AMG bodykit and wheels.

Plus these pics are from -who know what- trash car sites, let's save the bashing until the real pics come out from MB.

MB has a lot at stake with this release. Lexus will be coming full force with the new LS. I think the new LS will be positioned quite nicely vs. this stinker.

The new LS will be a formidable competitor, but stinker or not, this new S class will still sell well just because it's a Benz, just like the new 7 series when it was launched a couple years ago. With all the negative press, it's still selling more than the previous generations 7's.

YOu know why they sold so many of those ugly things? Rappers bought those things because they were Bimmers and everyone Idolizes their favorite rappers in which you can't understand half of the language but anyway, when they see their Idol driving one of those, they want one regaurdless on the look. All it is are followers. Now I do believe the S-Class will be a stinker and more LS's will be sold, no-doubt.

i like it but i would perfer the current S-Class more because i simply like the design more and in the interior the instrument cluster, it looks like the new avalon had it does across half-way like that, but i'll give it a thumbs up, but i'll take an 05 model and be happy

This really reminds me of a Holden Statesman... it's an Australian built car



the grill is really similar

I have always admired the S class. It has been the car I have always wanted, since it is on top of that mountain. But now, I don't know. My judgement will have to wait until it's in person. However, my opinion right now is: Interior looks "cleaner" than the 7, but it will be hilarious how MB is now the company trying to copy people. Editors may bash BMW's I-Drive for not being great at executing it's functions, but it definitely looks like it's the leader in the technology class.

The exterior is alright. The flares might not be as visible in dark colors. I want to see how it looks in black. I just hate the rear. I love the current 7's rear (745, not 750), but the S's is absolutely FUGLY. I don't know if I will still want my family to get an S. I might have to wait a few years till the redesigned 7 and LS. I hope the LS just has a sportier suspension to it.

We'll just have to wait and see it in person. It might grow on us.

Outside a Ford Focus, inside a BMW....

...how the mighty S-class has fallen....

I like it, certainly better than the current LS or the 7 series. But then I tend to think of the current LS as one of the most boring looking cars on the road. Not ugly, but boring.

We'll have to see how the 2007 LS turns out.

I can't believe Mercedes could ruin the S-Class. However, it seems they did a could job.
This is surprising because most of their recent designs have been original a great looking.

This just means more sales for the LS.

The S-class could never win a comparison test against the LS and it isn't going to start to with this thing. The 2007 LS will kill this car. And for less money, again.
