A white on white S63 coupe passed by too today, my eyes were glued to it... so jealous
wonder if S coupe is getting similar upgrades for the engines.

 

speaking of the s coupe, i have no idea if dealers around here dropped the price on the s63 or what (the msrp is insane), in the past two weeks i have seen at least 3 new s63 coupe rolling through the streets and freeways. what a gorgeous car, it catches attention from far. and that sound, my goodness

 

More interested in the S coupe/convertible refresh (a year later ?) .......

 

I'll definitely agree that the S Class coupe is a sexy beast.

 

The new Lexus LS has impressed me as well, especially the interior.

 

Absolutely loving this car, especially the front end. The new front ends on most MBs are hideous these days.

 

the launch in shanghai and mercedes making it clear china is their largest and most important market.
impressive attention by the presenter to the chinese market, including several snippets of his speech in chinese.

 

oh and the video shows the car can adjust speed to curves and speed limits from map data or by READING THE SIGNS

 

^^ current drive pilot already reads signs. In fact, I love noticing when I drive past a speed limit sign and my instrument cluster and map will show the updated speed. It also knows how to read yellow speed limit signs for freeway exits and curves and can show them in color too. And what is most impressive is that it can read school signs and will display two speed limits in the instrument cluster: the normal speed limit, and also a "school" one set at 25mph

 

... smart tech for the win.

 

All hail the king.

Inside looks boring and ordinary compared to the new LS interior, though.

 

Agreed. Still, the deficit in interior design does not lose enough points for me to consider LS when the pricing point is this close to a new S-class.

 

I like it, since I can't decide which powerplant to get, I'll probably get all 3, keep one, and give the other two away at the Holland Tunnel.....j/k. imho they set the trend, even more so than BMW. I rode in a M760i last week, and it's beautiful. But it's no S class.....(also pretty sure the M is the M sport, seems that all the car co's are making lite versions of their sport lines)

 

I find the new LS interior extremely boring, ordinary, and plain. The new S class looks much nicer.

 

To be fair, we don't have pricing on the new LS yet.

As for the new LS interior being plain, I don't see that lol
