Not the best timing to one-up the RR Ghost.

 

They are clearly chasing the Tesla crowd. I think one of the things I dislike the most is, Mercedes has always led the pack, this is the first time I can remember looking at some aspect of the S Class and saying that they really are following another manufacturer in design.

 

You better get your S class quick before the value of the current model goes up. Cars seem to grow on me over time and maybe this will but I would rather have the current model as I don’t like the gauge cluster at all. The center console screen isn’t bad though. As for the exterior, I like the front but really don’t like the rear.

 

Im workin on it lol

 

you must have forgotten the Bangle butt/coffin lid on the W221

 

Haha, that’s true.

 

happens every new generation. A year later we love it.

 

So they decide to copy the worst interiors of modern automobiles, hope they didn't copy Tesla's build quality either.

 

I think old S Class is beautiful, and new S Class will most probably be stunning too.
Mercedes is probably the most consistent with styling across the entire motor industry.

A year later, nothing has changed with 5LS nor G90, but a continuing downward spiral.

I would love to lease an S Class, but my clients may think that I'm ripping them off - along with my gold Rolex?
Whereas a Lexus just looks like a very nice Toyota, just like an A8 is a very nice Volkswagen, with BMW as the intermediate between the conservative and the stylish.

 

this is why you have to wear a glashutte original or something so that the average joe has no idea what you're wearing. i have a small watch collection that's actually quite valuable and includes an a lange und söhne and no one has ANY idea what i have on my wrist when i wear it (same is true for the glashutte original i have and most others in my collection save for the obligatory rolex) - no idea on the specialness nor the value of the AL&S timepiece.

anyway, i'm team audi, although the op is team MB and that's okay as the MB is a fine vehicle, i just prefer the restrained styling of the audi more than the curvaceousness of the MB. you can't go wrong with either vehicle, so go get the car already so i can see some pictures.

 

I think it's hilarious that you can avoid people judging you for wearing a $5k watch.....by wearing a $33k watch.

If people ask, do you tell them it's just a fancy Swatch?
