S-Class W222 [Spyshots] Mercedes-Benz 2014 W222 S-Class (Spy pics & info)

Is this the real shape of the headlights? Well it seems a bit smaller & pretty nice. Hmmm I do see a hope over there that this car will be looking beautiful, hopefully.

I haven't seen a steering wheel look so Grandpa since the Lincoln Towncar. They ain't kidding with "old world luxury", but maybe taking it too literally.

The steering wheel is miles better than the one in the W221 which IMO is the worst steering wheel Mercedes has out there right now.

PS: Sweet mother of god those headlight units are massive and complicated. Imagine the replacement cost of one!

True that. The W221 wheel is hideous. Come to think of it, the W220's wheel was boring compared to the other M-B's as well. For some reason, M-B hasn't nailed an S-Class steering wheel in some time in my mind.

Common guys there is already a thread just to talk about the steering wheel design....

I'm loving the white interior, not gonna lie. Not sure about the aluminum bit running down the bottom of the wheel, but the rest looks fabulous.

Thank you Monster!

Still not sold on that front bumper...

That steering wheel looks way more luxurious and plush than the W221 wheel. I see they finally added more upscale materials to the cabin

Is a steering wheel really that noticeable when you're driving as long as it feel right in the hand? There was nothing wrong with the W221 wheel IMO.

This car had better be right, Mercedes needs something stunning to pull back some of the luster.

Phew - there's going to be a ton of innovation unleashed as a collective on this new S-Klasse. Looking forward to it...

"The New S-Class: Not yet released but already freaking its nearest rivals the f#ck out!"

There was nothing wrong with th w221 steering wheel it's just that the w222 points out the flaws (to some people) that the w221 steeing wheel msn have

To me, the W221 was the ugliest MB had ever produced when the W221 was introduced. Then it came the C-Class and it gained that priced honour. And honestly, the designer that thought "Hey, what a great idea would be to return to the two-spoke steering wheel" must be fired ASAP.

Wait a minute...Are you talking about the steering wheel or the car in general?

Oh it´s true. Of course I talk about the steering wheel.

I wonder if all this new technology is going to raise the price of the S500/550 to above $100K US.

You already know it buddy..... current BASE S550's are right at $96k. But worth every penny....
