I called it, heated armrest and side panel, I think eventually all interior surfaces a human touch will be heated and cooled.

Bigger is not always better, there is such thing as too big. Like stuffing a 100" TV in a tiny bedroom Or 30" wheels on a compact car.

I was very confused about it, but I guess they did that to continue their old-world design theme. Rolls Royce has a very similar approach with very flat dashboards.

Default Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.

The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.

It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.

Some reports are saying they is just a XLWB s-class model, say to replace the Maybach 52, and not the Pullman. That would make sense since the Pullman traditionally has a full middle window.
