The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the sixth generation of the Mercedes Benz S-Class produced from 2013 to 2020, serving as the successor to the W221 S-Class and predecessor to the W223 S-Class. The W222 has a similar design theme to the C-Class (W205) and E-Class (W213).

Well best thing I can tell you is ignore all the Car gossip and wait until the car is present to even concern yourself with it.
Only thing being tossed around now are rumours. No point stressing until official photos are released or spy photos where the car is barely covered.
I believe the new CLS has taken some design language from the S-Class to begin with. (Headlights as well.) These were already established for the W222 sometime back. It`s the new CLS that has adopted these design features (in it`s own fashion) which would move it closer to the S-Class as the CLS sits above the E. We see it as the S taking Qs from the CLS because of it`s earlier debut. We must realize that design language always trickles down from the top, no matter the debut date.
Thats because Mercedes took the time to develope the new technology these new engines possess. While BMW and Audi have just added Direct-Injection Mercedes Benz took it 3-steps beyond! read this article and compare it to the newer engines from Audi and BMW. Thay don`t come close to the innovation and advancements.
new S-Class engines.

Example:
It`s already looking like the 2011 S63 will avoide the gas guzzler tax
and get slightly better gas milage than the BMW 750Li. Thats quit a feat
for a 5.5liter BiTurbo V8 (vs. a 4.4 V8 BiTurbo) with a 136hp advantage.
It shouldn`t be the S65s replacement engine... that would be a rip off of the S63 IMO.
The V12 should live if MB wants to stay compeditive against the likes of Bently. I was about to make an assessment report on the internal-combustion engine an how wastful and irresponsible most excutive car companies have become with the larger displacement engines.
With the M157 V8 Merc-AMG has presented the most advanced algoriths
yet seen on the internal-combustion engine to date. This engine is running about 25-30% cleaner than anything else in it`s class while getting about the same fuel eco. rating
(Example: BMW B7 23.4mph vs. 2011 S63 23.5mpg, euro urban cycle)
If MB keeps the V12, and I believe thay will, it should get the same
features the M157 has.

Smaragd-based engineering at Daimler
Interview with Prof. Alfred Katzenbach, Director of IT Management at Mercedes-Benz Cars Research and Development.
Professor Katzenbach, what do you expect the global deployment of Smaragd to deliver? What are the key performance indicators?
Let me answer that question from the user’s perspective. Smaragd must be available around the clock and deliver extremely rapid response times. This is because every component used in vehicle development has to have a corresponding data record. Smaragd is our core engineering backbone system. It manages all our design data, and provides our developers worldwide with a single view of the truth.
Who has access to Smaragd and its data?
In addition to the 8,000 engineers who own the data, there are many more who use it – from designers, to staff at our production facilities, to members of the executive board.
And the solution increases the efficiency of your engineering workflows in product development?
Constantly: for example, by helping us avoid iterations, and keep data consistent and free of redundancies. The solution allows us to synchronize parallel processes, accelerate individual development phases, and better predict results.
Predict results: what does that mean, exactly?
Smaragd enables us to perform simulations in virtual reality. As a result, we can accelerate prototype development, reducing the need for physical prototypes and mockups. The first digital we create is now considerably more advanced than in the past. But ultimately, we have to fine-tune the handling, comfort and user-friendliness on the real-world car. Perfecting a Mercedes involves hands-on driving on real roads. And that will still be true a hundred years from now.
Where is Smaragd deployed?
It is used for all our vehicles: in other words, for cars, buses, vans and trucks made under the Mercedes, smart, Maybach, Fuso and Freightliner brands. This applies to every model on the market or in development. During the strategy, prototyping, and production phases, we integrate the virtual world into the development cycle and accelerate each individual stage: from design, to flow simulations, interior design, ergonomics, crash testing, fuel-economy optimization, and production.
What are the key success factors?
Developing a vehicle is an optimization task involving multiple criteria, with interdependencies between processes in different disciplines. So the ability to promptly sign-off every single step in the development process is a key success factor. This is particularly true in design and engineering. At the approval stage, which hundreds of components reach every day, we use Smaragd’s integrated approval processes to get the green light and legally binding sign-off (for product liability purposes) from everyone responsible for the components.
Once the car is in production, Smaragd’s job is done, isn’t it?
Actually, it’s not. You could say Smaragd always plays a part. For example, at the vehicle planning stage, we digitally simulate the installation and removal of parts during maintenance and repairs. This helps us create solutions that later minimize the duration and cost of visits to the repair shop.

I believe the S-Class and CLS will share headlight designs.
With that being the case it should get the same "LED leering eye" P1 package as well. Thats going to look pretty cool on the W222 S.
I might be getting a little ahead of myself but I also predict that the AMG versions sedans on the W222 will get the eel like grin featured on the CLS63, replacing the squared off air dams fearured on the W221 S63 and S65 models. (The SL/CL AMG kits have always trickled down to the S AMG models in the past. It should happen again.)

Uh Oh...I'm getting scared. Me and Mercedes have the relationship that we do because of the S-class. Let's get this one right!

May I ask why?.

Why I am getting scared? or Why I have such a wonderful relationship with Mercedes because of the S-class?

The shape of the hood looks iffy and the overall shape just seems off. Won't make a final judgement call, but I am a little worried (especially after the current shape of the E-class).

Dude, if this car was a chick, she'd be wearing a burkha. Sure, u can kind of tell it's a chick, but you have NO idea wth is going on underneath. LOL
That's a lot of cammo man, have faith brotha.
Hi folks,
Look at the new german "Auto Motor und Sport".

By doing so you will realize that the W222 is coming in the above mentioned design. Which - for me is - far from nice.
