Has a Rolls look to the rear end. Not sure how I like it. The front is much nicer to me though.

One word when this thing roll up. Move!!
The S class continue to set the standard. As usual I'll get the S coupe in 3 years.

Little disappointing style wise.I actually like the present one better.Looks kind of plain.The '14 interior dash is weird too.
The '14 does have new gadgets and comforts inside,though.

Lexus, step up the game with the LS! The LS has nothing on the S class. Geez I would just want to sit inside at night due to the light show. Simply beautiful, Good JOB Mercedes!

Exterior is sharp and does not look overstyled like other recent Mercedes...I like it a lot.

The detailing and materials used on the interior are gorgeous, but I do not care much for the design and do not see it aging well in 5, 10, 15 years.

The comment above about the LS having nothing on this S class, to each his own. Have you sat in the 2013 LS? I had the opportunity to do it this weekend and that interior is pretty remarkable - one of the very finest in the industry, at any price point. The S got a more dramatic refresh than the LS did, but I believe that this is indeed still a heavy refresh.
