Gotta give BEnz credit. They push that history thing to us all!
I saw the new S-class ad and it looked good. The thing that caught my attention (and forgive me, I am a history junkie).
THE NINTH GENERATION S-CLASS..
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That just sounded good out the guys mouth. The 9th gen. Wow, the S-class, gotta give it HELLA props, what a fantastic car and to see it continue to evolve is just something.

I will say when I was at the ML event, even though the previous ML is possibly one of the worst built anythings every made, they again, had pics of their history as a whole, the old racing cars, old awards, etc, again a good job. Clearly the uniformed customer would be drooling more than me.

I saw that commercial too - AWESOME! Most everyone on here ragged on the car's big wheel arches but I think it has a great PRESENCE - something really special.
Also, I love that heads up view within the speedometer they showed too

I love big flared arches. Just look at Audi and their A6 and A8's. Big arches look great on big coupes and big sedans. And yeah when I saw that commercial monday morning during the Today show I just froze in front of the TV. Kinda the same feeling I get when ever I see those Range Rover Rush ads. MB has another hit on their hands. The W220 was a classic.

i saw one in SF the other day with the same wheel pictured. It looked so good that i almost want to go into a MB dealer and got one. Just too bad that i dont have enough money. The car looks freaking amazing and it owns everything else in it's class!
Sorry guys, I love Lexus and all but the new S class has more flare and style than the new LS460. Actually, to me it's been this way with the current model too, I love the LS430/460 though, just that MB just has that special appeal in mind when designing their vehicles.

Mercedes is unsure about its new design.
And I don't know how I missed this.
What color is a Mercedes in EVERY SINGLE commercial?
Silver right? They make a beautiful silver(s).
They even have another ad out now, with the old SL and new SL/SLK etc racing, all silver.
Guess what, the new Benz S ad, the car is BLACK.
And you can see the front, but not the sides, i.e the WHEELARCHES
Your thoughts? I can't ever remember seeing a Benz in any color but silver.

the new wheel arches are too a la RX-8 avante gardish...for a clientele that usually caters to a more conservative (yet stylish) appeal, this is really a drattic departure from the old S Classes of old...
