Today's missed opportunity.

I don't understand the mention of this, it seems extemporaneous being that it was canceled for this generation "look what we did and we won't do anymore" Mercedes sometimes seems run by 40 different people.

I never had the pleasure of seeing the current S coupe, but it is one of the cars that I have liked the most in photos and videos, enough to be its owner forever, to have it there even if I don't use it, just to look at it.

With what I like the C, E, S class sedans, I can't imagine how imposing the coupe will be in person since it is the most of that generation.

There was some talk of a Maybach exclusive coupe to replace the S Coupe models. An EV I guess, but outside of the CAR magazine article I haven't heard anything else about such a car. They said it was being "studied" at the time. Such a car is needed for Mercedes' visual/styling health if they can make it gorgeous.

Basically the same car that is for sale today, practically indistinguishable even for a connoisseur, Elon should sell Daimler the name "the boring company"

I don't know if it's still for sale but I'm referring to the current AMG GT coupe, the predecessor of these prototypes

I don't know what that has to do with an proposed/studied EV Coupe to replace the last S-Class coupe.

I remember NAIAS 1992 very well. BMW launched the E36 3er Coupe at the same event.

Though almost 6 years old already, I wouldn’t mind an S coupe in the style of this one and can hardly call this boring.Get rid of the unrealistic, almost cartoonish part of the styling, trim it more to suit real life conditions and they have got a winner.
