2013 Mercedes S Class almost uncovered

335ifanatic · 07-26-2012, 08:35 AM

I'm a big fan of the current S class, the new S class exterior looks promising, too bad Benz got rid of the flared wheel arches. That been said, I'm not feeling the interior. The nav screen is nice but the knobs and trim look cheap, the interior actually looks like the newer Kia interiors.

It's a Mercedes. It's an S-Class.

How can you lose?

You can't. This car will be a winner.

Meh, it's still the same atrocious "whale" style that epitomizes the W221.

I still think the W220 is the pinnacle of the Mercedes S class.

Like someone else mentioned, Mercedes totally ruined the SL class as well.

Unfortunately, I don't like the newest BMW 7 either. I think the newest BMW 7 and 6 look absolutely hideous, but the newest BMW 5 series is absolutely gorgeous. If I were looking to move up a class, it'd be to the new BMW 5 hands down.

Agree with this 100%. I get tired of bimmer lovers saying the 6-series is beautiful. It is far from it. An Aston Martin is beautiful, the new 6er is a huge fail in my opinion. Don't get me started on the 7er, that thing is just hideous. The 5er is a great looking car, clean classic lines.

That is by far, the ugliest S-class ever.
