The NEW S-Class

This is suppossed to be the all NEW S-Class which will replace the W220.

Take the three pointed star away, stuck an oval blue logo on the grill and just call it a FORD FOCUS!!!

And, if Mercedes-Benz does not improve the quality of the materials inside from the W220, just call it a CHEAP FORD FOCUS.

The picture from MBUSA above (placed by TX6513) is the CURRENT S-Class (W220). The first picture corresponds to the future W221 which will replace the W220 in 2005.

According the source, the W221 is 90% accurate. Horror!!!!

Yikes! It DOES look like a Focus. I guess it just goes to show that money doesn't guarantee taste!

Car and Driver had a pic this month, yeah that first pic is probably right on. ugg I'm going to be sick. But wait it gets worse, much, much, much, worse... Can you say I-drive!!! That car isn't fit for the star. It would make one good Toyota though!

Are our boys from Stuttgart intentionally taking the dive just so they can recover?

Isn't that what BMW was doing when they put Chris Bangle in charge . . .

I dont see a relation to BMW or Honda, but they arent too attractive. This is a whole new kind of ugly, but if you ask me, mercedes' are all ugly these days. But they are also selling more cars now than ever...

Yeah right, any of us standing next to one with a salesman asking "wanna drive it?" we all say yes
