New Mercedes S-Class Facelift Showcased in Enticing Video

Just how is it the best? Talk handling, innovation, design, brand image, quality, performance, comfort (maybe), this car is by no means the benchmark. So I think you should stop trying to be emotional just because it's from your beloved Merc brand. Evaluate it based on something constructive!

It is nice when driving in the dark. To me it looks more like the colour of droppings.... But I guess that's up to personal taste

exatly. but it suits the brand

and how should this car look for you so it wouldn't be boring anymore? this is a premium luxury car and for every brand in this class the design it doesn't have to be edgy... 7th series, A8, they are all promoting a very discreet design so does it means they're boring???... and BTW did you ever drove one? did you ever sat in one, feel all its interior comfort, ergonomy, quality, to call it boring? Do it, please, and then comment...

Of course BMW's new 7 and Lexusfor that atter will be able to take that through their distinctive grills (esp BMW's) and release it through the elegant tailpipes. BTW, note how Merc copied BMW's tailpipes.

I had the same thought! It only separates your wife from You :P

You guys are p-whipped. What if you're on a 6-hour road trip? Split screen would be great.

Sorry for you, but in terms of handling, innovation, design, brand image, quality, performance, comfort (maybe), this car is by no means the benchmark. Look at the interior of the 7 and compare it to this piece of trash! The 7 won the most innovative car for the year 2009, what did the S get? NOTHING! As for the design, what is more tasteless than to put lines and lines of LEDs at the front just so that it stands out in teh crowd? BMW's corona rings will always be a unique classic by BMW only. As for the taillight of the S? It used to be very cool with the body coloured stripes, but now? It is a slap or narrow lights, making the car look terribly narrow and ugly in a way when looking at it from the rear. So all in all, no improvement to an already ordinary car. If I was in this market, I'd be going for the best and also something that stands out in the crowd, something that's original, innovative and represents excellence. and at the moment, only the new 7 Series qualifies that title.
