Is it just me or does the rear wheel look smaller than the front? lol  Style-wise they need to make the fender bulges a little smaller...they make the wheels look puny and the rest of the car look big, heavy, and bloated.  Otherwise it looks nice...but I mean it's nothing to write home about.  <_<  (not very many MB's are...)

Ugh, that's awful.  The line of the trunk lid, the tail lights, and the fender bulges are all terrible.

I wouldnt go that far, but the current S Klasse is a better design IMO.

I'll have to agree. And if previous spy shots are any indication, the interior is not likely to impress either.

Since all spy shots basically looked the same as this car, we have reason to assume that the interior is the same as the spy shots as well, and when I saw the interior, I was hardly impressed at its over BMW-ness.

It's possible that they modified the interior since the last shots that showed it (it may have been over a year, more than enough time).

Ooooo, not sure I like that.

What are they thinking?   :(

The front looks twice as bad as the rear!

I could see the rear half working somehow, but the front looks like it was a rejected style for the M-class that they squashed down a bit for use on a sedan. It reminds me of an MPV minivan (which looks fine for a minivan, but like this it looks like crap)

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

TurboDan

Hmm..  I don't like this one.  The "lip" of the wheel wells are absolutely huge and distract from the overall conservative design of the car.  In addition, the front grille is reminiscent of the Lexus LS, which (while a beautiful car itself) is not something to be copied several years later by another car that is supposed to be even more exclusive.

Still not enough to say--plenty of camoflage on that car.

I hope you're blind...there's plenty of body colored cladding which hide the true shape of  the car.  I'll make a judgment when I see a final product.

I accualy like the exterior.  Although I believe the perfect design would be a sleeker W220 style.

However, that interior... :(

The true shape of the car looks entirely visible to me as well.
