They must all have failing eyesights
, seriously I have real problem believing your story, when he is as close to the car where he can grab the handle, he can definitely see the inside, & no one can claim the inside would look remotely the same as the Camry, I will never believe it unless I see it with my own eyes, & even then, I would fault their eyesight, not the looks of the car.

I agree with you 100% that the rear end of the S550 is ugly. In fact, I think the whole car itself is not that appealing in all honesty. I much prefer the previous generation S500 over the current one though I can't really say I'm a huge fan of that one either.
LOL I guess it takes all kinds, but I really like the rear of the current S Class. Actually, I think it's a good lookng car overall SO LONG AS it has the upsized "AMG" wheels and corresponding tires. The resulting bolder stance makes a TON of difference, IMO.
Another odd thing I noted when I was test driving and comparing closely is that the standard gray interior without the add-ons (primarily the wood/leather steering wheel) is one of the cheapest looking interiors in ANY luxury class car -- looks like something you'd expect in an Oldsmobile -- yet the black and brown interiors are some of the richest, making even the LS look down market. I found it very strange that MB would release an S with such a bland looking interior -- looks like a sea of dull gray plastic, leather, and carpet that combines to simply look kinda cheap.
