New segment for MB. Nice, high end versions will compete with the upcoming Ghost based Rolls cabrio.
 
Master class ala Mercedes-Benz. The next generation Bentley Continental GT/GTC will have quite the lofty benchmark to top. The C217s' are simply...absolutely excellent.
 
Wait until they show the S63 or S65 AMG Cabrios, going to be arguably Mercedes' most desirable car until the AMG GT roadster arrives.

Why does it look so bulky?? Very underwhelming design.. I really want to like this car. I have absolutely LOVED the CLs of yore and would have loved to own one; but this new S-Class coupe leaves a lot to be desired.

If you think this is bulky, then you mustn't remember the presence a Phantom drophead has. I'm six feet tall and the doorhandles come up to my naval.

I am not referring to the competition; what i meant was that all the past CL's had a way in their design to hide their bulk. This one looks a little awkward and disproportionate.. it may be that the belt line is too high and the greenhouse too squished.
 
I just LOVE the way the coupe looks....For me, the soft top (or no top) just ruins it....Not feeling it
 
BOOM! I knew there would be a AMG version. They will likely introduce the S550 Cabrio and S63 AMG Cabrio at the same time or just a few months apart and then wait for a few more months and then do a S65 AMG Cabrio, easily a 250K+ car.

I agree ....the Bentley should start by improving rear leg room.

This Mercedes will be in high demand (particularly in the U.S.)

Wolfgang, can you tell us if there is a Maybach version planned?
 
Perhaps, Rob, but MB may not have made the decision just yet. Should they? :)

Mercedes will further expand the Maybach lineup if the S-Class-based models are successful.

“If the brand is popular, we could of course make a Maybach version of many different cars. Maybach is about quality, refinement, comfort and exclusivity – as long as a car has these characteristics, it could be a Maybach,” explained Dr. Hermann-Joseph Storp, the development director for the S-Class, in an interview with British magazine Autocar.

Storp warned that Mercedes is not currently developing additional Maybach variants. However, he revealed that candidates for the Maybach treatment include the E-Class, the S-Class Coupe and the GLS-Class (formerly known as the GL-Class). Smaller models like the C-Class and the CLA-Class are unlikely to wear the Maybach name, and a Maybach-AMG crossover has been officially ruled out.

Maybach-badged models take about two years to develop, so the brand’s next model is still a ways away from hitting showrooms if it is given the green light for production. Digitaltrends
 
I think the next Maybach model should be a S version of the current S600 Maybach. It should use the full 630hp engine from the S65 AMG and feature some spicier bodywork, not full on AMG but some tasteful/restrained sporting upgrades and a more differentiated grille. Just like they did with the Maybach 57S.
