You can argue a lot of things about Mercedes Benz (reliability), but generally speaking, I wouldn't include the idea that they copy other manufactures into that mix. They are constantly innovating and bringing firsts to the market.

The integrated tail pipe design, by the way, wasn't originally on a lexus, it was from the 2003 A8.

OK, so they took the tail pipe design from audi then.

Don't forget 7 series interior also

REgarding the grill, I like the 1 chrome horizontal strip rather than the double one.

Damn. Very aggressive looking update. The S-class AMG's crap on all other competitors.

I agree. I think MB is an innovator and I see many, many, more new designs that reflect MB styling. I see MB copying very few styling ques.

I' sure there will be some MB fans who can answer this but I believe that MB really watched costs and the new E does not have much of a price increase over the outgoing model. If that is the case and they pull the same trick with the new S, that will make it awfully tempting.

Funny thing on design to me. In pictures of the current model, you really notice the rounded arch/flares in the front. But in the steel, they are no where near as pronounced to me. Looks like they have toned them back so they won't be noticable at all. Not a bad look. I know it is a big price step up from the E but I think the new S looks like it is worth it. Not saying the new E is bad, just doesn't make much of a statement. Could be me.
