, & a copy of 7 series interior & idrive 
New S-Class real interior/exterior pics
That's just copies of alot of different vehicles put together. I cannot believe that Mercedes being one of the ORiginals decides to copy off of goofy-*** brands. And my god, why copy off BMW?? The new vehicles of BMW are just a big fat joke! Look at those things, they look like a friggen shark, man!! They should fire the person who designed the new S-Class for copying off the idiot who made the 7-series. I'm sorry but BMW look a whole lot better before they did that whole new design. Well I hope in the future that Mercedes will come up with their own ideas again, like it used to be!!

Not digging the interior...but the exterior is nice. The pics shown is the base model that is always sedated looking. The fender flares will look AMAZING with AMG bodykit and wheels. 
Plus these pics are from -who know what- trash car sites, let's save the bashing until the real pics come out from MB.

i like it but i would perfer the current S-Class more because i simply like the design more and in the interior the instrument cluster, it looks like the new avalon had it does across half-way like that, but i'll give it a thumbs up, but i'll take an 05 model and be happy

I have always admired the S class. It has been the car I have always wanted, since it is on top of that mountain. But now, I don't know. My judgement will have to wait until it's in person. However, my opinion right now is: Interior looks "cleaner" than the 7, but it will be hilarious how MB is now the company trying to copy people. Editors may bash BMW's I-Drive for not being great at executing it's functions, but it definitely looks like it's the leader in the technology class.
The exterior is alright. The flares might not be as visible in dark colors. I want to see how it looks in black. I just hate the rear. I love the current 7's rear (745, not 750), but the S's is absolutely FUGLY. I don't know if I will still want my family to get an S. I might have to wait a few years till the redesigned 7 and LS. I hope the LS just has a sportier suspension to it.
We'll just have to wait and see it in person. It might grow on us.

I like it, certainly better than the current LS or the 7 series. But then I tend to think of the current LS as one of the most boring looking cars on the road. Not ugly, but boring.
We'll have to see how the 2007 LS turns out.

I can't believe Mercedes could ruin the S-Class. However, it seems they did a could job. 
This is surprising because most of their recent designs have been original a great looking.
This just means more sales for the LS.
The S-class could never win a comparison test against the LS and it isn't going to start to with this thing. The 2007 LS will kill this car. And for less money, again.
