Something like this

Wheel in my W222 Facelift

or even better, this one. The best looking Wheel I’ve ever had.

A good friend of mine has a w222 with the same steering wheel. When you grip it you instantly feel luxury rippling from your fingers through to your arm to your chest.

In retrospective, a few years from now, I think we will talk about the W222 as an outstanding S class in every aspect. Sort of like how people see the W124 E class nowadays.

Interestingly, the more I see them on the street, the more I believe the W223 is above the W222 in terms of design from every angle.

I meant the car as a whole, not only it's design.

FWIW, imo W222 is a better design than W223.

While design is subjective, I can totally believe the W222 to be a better car as a whole at the time than the W223.

I wouldn't say that and it,s not what I said in my prior post #1.143. W223 has still many years 'till it's retirement. Often one can only truly judge a car and the impact it had several years after it's production period. Hence my remark, that W222 will be seen as an outstanding S Class in future. Not that it's a better car than W223.

Don’t think so and here is why… not that it’s not a great car but when the W124 was launched, there weren’t a lot of other ‘interesting’ cars except say the Testarossa or the Countach… and a Random RR all of which were bad. The W124 wasn’t only good, it was a benchmark of quality and luxury. Today you have multimillion dollar hyper cars like the Chiron etc that have people talking. Don’t think anyone will care about an S class. When comfort and speed have been democratized to this level an average motor isn’t hat will get people excited

Has he seen a doctor for this strange affliction?

God this is a great looking car. I didn't think the proportions would look so good on the W214, but it fits perfectly.

I'm just eagerly awaiting details on the new AMG inline 6. Something to really compete with the B/S58.

The M256 is great, but for whatever reason doesn't have the same gravitas as the B58.

Of course I'd love it if they had an E560 with a V8.

2026 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Hybrid revealed with inline-six, big battery pack

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 (available in both SUV and Coupe styles) is transitioning to be a plug-in hybrid but keeping the sweet, inline-six.

I guess there is an answer about the E53 engine.

I doubt this. Because the Eighties was the aspiration era especially for cars of this calibre.
Mercedes-Benz in the eighties was bulletproof. The W124 was evidence of this. Technology today can go wrong quickly diminishing the appeal.
There are cars in that era that were solid,reliable and aspiring to own. The many well kept examples today if they have not been bastardised are testament to this. These cars are the discussions you have against your Grandchildren when they say how did you cope with no internet or phone?
We survived!

While proportions are spot on, I still dislike details like the graphics of the tail lights as well as the shape of the fake exhaust pipes.
