i got a picture of the new s class today and it sucks
i also was at the dealer a week or so when my son and his wife both leased new vws. i gotta say that the new s class is a funny looking thing in person. it looks like chris bangle got ahold of it. it does nt look bad in pictures but the side renditions are very busy and goofy looking.

Looks like a rice burner to me, certainly not a S-class. What is the matter with these car designers? What ever happened to some style? I don't know about the rest of you all, but If I were going to spend 50K or more on a car I want it to look unique and not similar to a toyota,chevy,nissan or whatever. I'll give Chrysler some credit though, they seem to care how their cars look. I wouldn't buy a new car today because most of them look like a POS!

I first saw the pictures of the car some months back and was disappointed.
Then I saw a SILVER S-class at the dealership, and disliked the back and wheel arches, I thought the CLS was better much better looking. Then I saw a BLACK one the other day at a dealership, It looked unbelievable, the wheel arches looked fantastic and the rear/trunk looked very rich. I don't know if I'd rather have a CLS or a new S. Now I want to see a black one with a beige interior. I've only seen grey or near black interiors and wasn't crazy about those interior colors.

So it's not classic and it isn't timeless; MB hasn't been that way for ten years, heck their quality has sucked for longer.
As for the look, I like it. So far, I like most of MB's lines. I spent some time at the dealer looking at an R500 and even liked that. Looks funny, but practical and elegant at the same time.
