This isn't really a leak....they're on the website and they've been there for a minute now...lol.

Stunning cars though. I'm surprised the S65 doesn't get the "Zepplin" upgrade.

Will merge this with the official facelift thread…there were already photos of them etc.

Just kills anything else on the road. They're going to have to really do something special to the coupe to top the facelifted sedans.

^in that interview with MB cheif designer Gordon Wagner, he said that a sedan is the hardest to design..
Its a 3 box design..
To be frank i must say that MB has a history of designing killer sedans..
Look at the current line up .. all are ace's C,E and S..
These cars get more of my respect for just that reason..
A super car or roadster is way easier for a designer to work with...

Don't know if many noticed or if this subject has been already debated, but I am quite surprised by the disappearance of the COMAND controller from the rear armrest...

Any known reasons for doing that?

 

[ree]

Oh right!! And no buttons on the screens (ON/OFF etc.)!!! Probalby there is a remote controll for this now!! Looks definitely better…

Hmm, maybe, if we talk only about the buttons on the screens. The COMAND controller shouldn't have been removed, judging BMW still has it there, on their 7er. Minus for Stuttgart...

Maybe the command controller is in the lower compartment of the arm rest?

^bingo

Probably not:

Fond-Entertainment-Paket.

Für eine kurzweilige Reise der Passagiere im hinteren Bereich ist das Fond-Entertainment-Paket auf Wunsch erhältlich. Dabei sind an den beiden Kopfstützen der Vordersitze neu gestaltete 8-Zoll-TFT-Farbdisplays angebracht. Die Passagiere im Fond können ihr Programm via Fernbedienung wählen. Die Audioausgabe erfolgt über kabellose Kopfhörer.




The passengers can choose their program with a remote control…

 

[ree]

Same system for the E-Class! And the remote control looks quite cheap…

brighter colour in detail.

Ohh different grilles on the S63 and S65 now

Tacky is the right word to describe the unexpected silver painted diffuser.

One can almost suspect that an ex-Lorinser or Brabus design has broken into Mercedes' design department and slid drawings of ugly design cues into folders of approved designs.

Tacky is the right word to describe the unexpected silver painted diffuser.

I actually think it's quite pimp. Especially since the gray colored one is matching with the gray diffuser. If they go the painted route, it's not a bad display. Of course, with brighter colors it might get a little weird.

Nice video Siko! Looks like the gray one was 4-matic with the Sport package.

Looking fresh and up to date again. A perfect facelift. Stunning pics Artist, that white Hybrid looks hot!!! The side and back almost look like a new car with those new backlights. So much better without those ugly stripes. Bumper design and visible tailpipes add a lot too.
I also quite like the new AMG design, I only hope that the painted part in the diffusor is always painted in the same color as the rest of the car like Naruto said...
