Now it's alles perfekt. Should have looked like this from the beginning, in my opinion... Tough confrontation with the sexy new 7-series at sight.

Looks like both... DRLs within the headlamps (look at the row of LEDs across the bottom edge) and foglamps in the lower apron.

Must be turn indicators and/or city lights, I am not aware of antifog LED technology, eventhough it's in the works.

I haven't gotten the kind of confirmation I prefer, but the inside word is, the LED's on the bottom are part of Mercedes' new "Adaptive High-Beam Assist" system and act (with other parts of the light cluster) as fogs (light the lower quadrant of driver-sight close to the road, and reflect lane markings in inclement weather). AHBA supposedly adjusts the low beam pattern and length constantly, and dips your high-beams for you whenever traffic is present. However, this is all hearsay.

When xenon lamps started pouring around, some said they could spare foglamps but wasn't really the case. I guess this is somehow happening again with LED tech, but the fact that this car and the new E-class on some official pics appear with those lights turned on in a sunny day suggests they basically act as DRLs under normal conditions. It must be like the optional LED pack on the new Cayman replacing conventional foglamps.

They f*cked up the rear in the first year on purpose. Who the hell comes out with paint on their rear tail lights on a 100 plus K car. This is what it should have looked like all along.

Is it just the white paint job masking the details or does this redesign seem less fussy and overdone than that of the current model? I can't figure it out. This version just seems a little more subdued, or in my opinion, more tasteful and less garish.

I think it's the color. The sheetmetal is unchanged, just the bumper covers, wheels and lights. While I always though the current taillamps were fussy with their body-color dividers, these just look cheap and clumsy to me, and make the rear of the car look narrow and awkward.
How I miss the old W220 model...

i've got both. trust me, the V221 with an AMG bodykit is much better

W220 models were too plain and dull for a top of the range Mercedes. I haven't totally assimilated those protuberant front fenders, but it now looks cleaner, led fresh so to speak lol

The W220 was garbage, especially compared to its W140 predecessor. Cheap materials, and questionable electronic suppliers. Styling is subjective.

Ofcourse pics look a little stupid with the whole tape and all , we all know what a S class look like in person , it's sick , especially the amg ofcourse, but what kills it , is the stupid color matched defuser , it's like on nissan maxima SL 2007 , other than that I'm sure in person and with official pics it'll look good but idk yet we'll see , and no ls460 is not even a match , put both side by side and look at build quality and you just cant compare both, but LS is nice , but new 7 is the winner in looks there , not in built quality

It's not a difussor (theese are protuberant under the car and often black) it's just some bumper trim probably in different sizes so you don't need a specific bumper associated to upscale versions (600?). Glad that they integrated tail pipes in a Lexus fashion, looks much better. As for the new 7-series finish you'd be surprised. Interior materials look even better than those in W221's mkI.

Even the side view mirrors have changed. Thankfully they appear much bigger than the current puny mirrors.

The S-class is one of my favorite cars for a while now, but the redesign is not enough to make it look 'richer' and more distinctive than the new E-class.

Those headlamps remind me of BMW concept CS and new 7 series!!
