I don’t care for the giant screen or front grille. It’s alright other than that.

Lol everybody relax.

Let's see it in person, the final product. I'm sure it will be as good as ever.

Says the guy who dislikes many if not most modern vehicle trends

That interior layout isn't going to change, I hate exposed screens that look tacked on, and the W222 S Class IMO was great at NOT being that, and this is the exact opposite.

So I'm in a quandary, I'm sure I could get a killer deal right now on a W222 S560, but I'm not ready to part with my LS460L. In any event I'm sure getting out of my LS lease would be very difficult right now.

Hah. Not necessarily. I hate downsized engines and turbo crap but an S-Class interior I've never said anything bad about. I like the LS500 interior but it's just too cramped inside and the good gauges are gone. Modern interiors of nice cars I like but I don't like not having physical buttons. The current S-Class with the ambient lighting and stuff is amazing.

All I meant was is let's wait to see the final product.

I'm calling it now. I think that massive cutout for the HUD will be holographic rather than projected onto the windsheild, similar to what was supposed to be on the canceled Dyson electric car.

Looks good. Classic and conservative. Glad they didn't just into the big grill on the road competition.

Eh we can make fun of it all we want, the reality is people will buy it anyways while the LS gets ignored (rightly so). It's unfortunate.
