2010 Mercedes S-Class facelift spy photos

So clear it might have been staged...

Some more crystal clear spy shots of the Mercedes S-Class facelift have surfaced.  This time, they also include the AMG version, and hybrid as well.

Ambushed by the spies as the drivers' settled in for a bite to eat, we see some small updates.  For example, take a look at the new graphic on the front lamps, now with LED daytime lights built in.  LEDs also show up in the rear.

Around the frame, the bumpers get a rebuilt, with foglights integrated in.  The prototypes were all camouflaged up inside, so we anticipate some sort of update there as well, like the SPLITVIEW display screen and COMAND infotainment system with 8-inch display.

The hybrid is a S400 Bluehybrid, but that is not the only green advance.  The other versions will also get better fuel economy.

Set for release in the middle of next year, the Mercedes S-Class will premiere as a 2010 model.

you didnt mention that the black one, on pic 3-6, is the S600 GUARD, you can tell by the quad-tail pipes and the rubbery bumper sticker thing over the front wheels

really? mmm i prefer the basic 7 series to this basic s class, but the amg does look better than the new 7 base model. wait til the top of the line 7 comes out, then it'll be interesting to see which is better looking

Current AMG models look prefect and this looks even better! Why are always all spy photos from MB? Because this are the only photos people want to see!

I'm liking this shape much better than the current W221. Much less ugly, although I don't think I'll ever get accustomed to the front.

swap the grill, stretch it a bit. And whammo, you have the underpinnings of a camry. Stop fussing over little features that no one cares about, and look at the general shape of the car. It's scary how closely the curves follow.
