i agree..the S class still looks pretty good and i personally think its better looking than the LS460 (es350 looking) and a lot graceful too.

At first I didn't like it with the large arches but over time it didn't seem to age a bit from an exterior standpoint. But what do I know.

The front end is a vast improvement over the previous year. Very tempting, however, I'm sticking with Japanese luxury cars for reliability... until we get some long term data.

this is usually what happens...

mbusa.com, click model, look at spec, start building... scratch, go back to mbusa.com, start looking at amg's, pics, videos, start building, start dreaming, start opening tabs on youtube...

go on mbworld.org, look at used car prices, get very sad coz' i can't afford it...

havn't driven a S class or well in this case i havn't driven a Mercedes since my 2001 S55 i loved that thing
that body was just good i enjoyed it even better i enjoyed the older late 90s models body big body style
i really stopped likeing what they did to them in the mid to late 2000s and the seats just feel like crap not built for big fat people however the car should be but the seats aren't good in my opinion

damm hope they get it all worked out sometime i might go back to a Mercedes one day

Expect to see the 2014 S550 on sale in October
What an odd post in a 9 page thread

lol i saw that earlier this week. It must be confined to the internet and not to be broadcasted on TV. It technically does not say anything about how magic body control works

most commercials don't say how things work, but this conveys the concept beautifully.
