I actually don't care for that refresh front. I think it looks boxier than the current front which I don't think is as elegant.
I'll have to wait and see an uncamo'ed one.

You can see the overall shape and lines of the front though

...which are the same. That's my point. The hood is the same, the fenders over the wheels are the same, shutlines are the same. The headlights are getting new internal graphics as you can see and there's a new front bumper design which is covered. Oh, and the S600 grille is now the standard one. The biggest departure you can see right now is the lack of sculpting on the front bumper directly under the headlight which is present on the current model.

I don't agree. The headlights have a little more of a point up toward the outward corners that give the front a squarer look along with more pronounced edges on the corners of the bumper underneath the headlights. The headlights also appear smaller and squarer on top of the smoother look under the headlights you mention which makes the front look flatter.

That picture just reinforces my opinion...

I understand that the cutouts are the same, thats not unusual because its cheaper to use the same fender stampings, but the headlights are 3D objects, and the shape of the lens cover does change. Nose on that still looks squarer and flatter to me. Sorry...you don't have to agree with me thats just my opinion.
