S-Class [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé Facelift (C217) 2017-

[sako97]

I was riding alongside a light blue Maybach 650 cabrio earlier; first thought was wow nice car, second thought was $335k??? .... Then I wondered if I'd ever see one on the road again, which is kind of the point of the car.

A nicely specced S550

What do you guys think, ignore the strips, does the matte black work on the S coupe?

Nope.
I just can't wait for the matte finish fad to go away.

No. I'd spec it with metallic emerald green with tanned interior and 21 inch silver rims.

Excellent choice, sir !

I just can't imagine MB letting Bentley and RR with V12 coupes and convertibles alone in that segment.

I don't think so either.
In fact, I don't like the Edition1 Package for the S Coupe. It is more fitting to the C63/E63.
The S needs to have its own super-sport package imo.
Something a little more distinctive and exclusive.

S65?

Cold start for old time's sake. Like a shot of espresso:

@Yaz ... Get a load of this one. I'll give it 3 days max before all four of this guy's rims are bent on our roads.

God i wish MB gave the FL S65 4Matic+.

This neat rear the8 can only dream of.

This neat rear the8 can only dream of.

The S-Coupe can't be beaten. It's beautiful and classy from every angle, and that interior.

The 8er is nice on it's own way and it won't compete with the S-Coupe as it is just a replacement for the 6 Series, so it fits somewhere between the CLS and the S-Coupe.

Hahaha, my Gosh you guys are truly pathetic.

 

[klugscheisser87]

Hahaha, my Gosh you guys are truly pathetic.

Pathetic is what BMW did with 5er GT->6er GT and 6er->8er

I still think the new 8er should stay the 6er reserving the 8er nameplate for something upmarket

Am I the only who's not digging the rearlights?

 

[sako97]

Am I the only who's not digging the rearlights?

Think so.

 

[lukeswiss]

Think so.

I also don't like them, I think they're too fussy... too many parts inside. I think the sedan had the best facelift. It looks awesome.

You’re not.

Absolutely agreed, Luke. MB did everything right with the sedan (although I had to get used to it in the beginning). The Coupe’s facelift has been executed in a sub-ideal way.
