It seems like the car is ready to launch from the prototype we saw. So, when are they going to launch it? Thx for the info btw..

 

[Merc1]

My guess would be sometime in April or May.

I just have to say this; we were at a restaurant this evening and decided to take a cab home. The cab turned out to be a S320. Damn, that is a good place to be. If Mercedes is able to best that ride with the FL then they should be proud of themselves.

Com'on could of got a close up of the tail lights!!!

Better than rear lights I´m wondering how the interior is going to look like, I hope the change a few this on the central console.

I'm really excited about the rear lights

 

[klier]

^^ Yep, I'm hoping for more wood on the central console. Would be very nice if they did that. For the rest I guess they will give the central dials a complete LCD screen now, and not only the speedometer...
This facelift is shaping up pretty good so far. Soon will will have official pics. We're talking weeks now most likely.

^I thought it already has full LCD for things,can anyone confirm i' too lazy now to dig it up

Where do you think more wood is needed, in the area between the armrest and the center console perhaps? On the lids for the storage compartments?

 

[SKY]

The best thing would be remove those stupid and plain compartiments for a more F01/W212/W220/whatever central console, with more buttons instead of this type of cabin introduced by the E65 7er, it´s far from being the best solution.

I always felt the storage compartments are the weak point of this otherwise quite superb interior.

It looks bit bland in that area, it's bit too much plastic, and it's not as perfectly fitting as it should, slightly too much deadspace I find.

The center console of the CL is perfect on the other hand, but would not fit in the horizontal look of the S' dash, however I could see some wood from the "ground" of the center console to the top of the storage compartments, while not rejoigning the current wood to keep it horizontal.

Nope, it's not full LCD. Only the speedo is LCD, other instruments are "real" so to say.

You can clearly see it in these pictures:

I see,i think they might make it a full LCD for the FL,anyway i really don't care about that one.I'm really into the look of the rear lights which is shaping nicely so far
