Guys, you can also take advantage of the Showcase and Resources functions.

For example, you could upload the S-Class press release as pdf under the Resources tab, for anyone that wants to download it, or you could create an info library about the S-Class, complete with press release, photos and videos under the Showcase tab.

It's very good actually! Give it a try if you want!

No, I'm not. My cars always have keyless go, there is no need for the key to be thick and heavy, I keep it in my pocket.

Thick and heavy? MB keys are anything but thick and heavy. Have you seen Lexus, BMW (the new ones) and Audi Keys?

I will say that I do like the W221's front lights better, but thats about it.

The hood shut lines simply do not follow the headlight graphics.

The designers should have followed those shut lines with a slightly different headlight or eyebrow design to follow the shut lines, or redesign those shut lines, because this is the main problem. Btw, This is the first S-Class whos grill does not open with the hood. This makes it a little hard to resolve the front end.

I think lines you referred to were done purposely to reduce "visual bulk". That is, the designers tried to use these different lines to make the front look more 3-dimensional and slimmer.

This car is going to be such a big hit, epic, with rich people all over the world clamoring for it. Mercedes has just put a serious hurt on the segment. S550, S63 AMG and then S600, S65 AMG and then S350 Bluetec and the S500 Plugin Hybrid. I don't want to think about the Coupe, Cabriolet and the Maybach replacements yet. OMG.


Thanks a lot HoH for keeping me up all night reading that shite lol.

I am hoping MB will release an actual book detailing the entire development process of the new S-class.

This S Class, Bmw 7-er and Audi A8 :-D

All models of Audi and Bmw are similar to each other only S Class is another:-D

^Oh sorry didn't notice.

 

[DblPen]

Artist will you grow up one day?

 

[DblPen]

nobody has, but who needs to? everybody already knows that it has better interior, design and materials that rolls royce and bentley from the pictures. And you dont need to drive it to know that it renders 7er and a8 useless, because its superior in every driving subject there is. Its the best car ever made easily

all jokes aside s class exterior really grew on me, even the headlamps only look awkward in straight front pictures, other than that angle it looks superb and while 7er and a8 looks bulky, s class hides it size really well

@LaArtist, your informative just "killed" me

 

[mercpassion]

like always S for SUPERLATIVE

sadly i'm afraid there is some crticial let downs in a couple of areas of design, i'm so sorry to say, because i never thought i would criticize an S-class, other than that let me tell you for the most part the new king of cars does live to expectations for being the undisputed best car in the world true to S-class tradition.

firstly the headlamps top corners are way too downgrade for this car, they are almost 100% taken from the new A/CLA/CLS even hints of W204 could be seen

the awful shutline joining the front bumper to the front fender, seen below the front headlamps, is too cheap for this car, that is A/B/C/E class material.

the front wing fenders which are dangerously like the ones on the A/CLA/CLS

then there's the dropping line which is again identical to A/CLA/CLS,

the rear lights although beautiful of course, they however are too much like the W204/C216,

STILL NOT 100% ANTI WEDGE!!!!,

greenhouse shape similar to W221

headlamps and tailamps seems like they're taken directly from C216.

imo the reaction so far is best described LUKEWARM, however given time the design should fit together more nicely, maybe need more time to soak the design?

the interior on the other hand has won me over hands down, simply s-class style, the best possible luxury ambience, the only funny thing is the issue of four vents which many consider to be copies from RR/BENTLEY, however that aside the interior is everything expected of S-class, classicly elegant, futuristic, graceful, luxurious....the list goes on.
