While opinions will vary, it seems that MB is getting back to what it used to do best.

I agree 100% with you! I am one of those die-hard fans of W140s who think the W220 was just a fancy E-class, no match for what an S-class should be.
Now the W221 really goes back to its original roots (W116, W126, W140). Besides the electronic gimmicks and toys I was really most impressed by the quality of materials (inside and out) and how well put together the car is.
The only thing left to see is to see the first year of production go by and see what happens in terms of reliability.
