I would kindly ask Bimmer fans to google sales number between current 7 series Facelift and S class at the end of it's cycle (final year)
Go to your bimmer topics and brag about how big the teeth of the brand new Beaver...sorry , Bimmer 4 series are...
S class will remain king in sales , due to the fact that they keep delivering DIFFERENT things.
Not the most beautiful? Who cares? We live in a consumer decade , where people want different things every few years.
I'm not a big fan of the design of the W223 , but I bet it will be mind blowing in terms of tech , and for sure it will be a new design language in the interior , and this is a win for me .
They had the guts to make a new steering wheel in just a few years span (for example)
AS for BMW , the same s**t steering wheel design language since E90...
Bimmer fans have the guts to "shame" W223 design , and they have the most ugly front fascia in history with the car industry (future 4 series)
They have the guts to "shame" W223 design , and it's most expensive car has the most ugly infotainment system with the most ugly asymetric bezels ( 8 series )
So , in my conclusion : Keep hating , S class has decades of winning in sales numbers , and THIS is the ONLY thing that matters for MB leaders.
Now go back to bimmer topics. I think I saw the new 4 series in my backyard chewing some wood...
Cheers
PS: I really like the 7er Facelift , it's nice with the M pack...But W222 still beat it in sales numbers....
