The LEDs are a blatant Audi/Porsche copy, and the bumper itself is a bit on the generic side, and it's conservative. It's just meh to me. They made it look even more like an old person's car.

After looking at it again today, I think the same. Actually I see some Maybach in the rear design esp with these new rear lights. I still think it would look good with AMG kit but right now the new 7 series is best in the class in design.

I actually like the classy look of the current S-Class.

Im just not sold on the new 7. The new 7 has WAY to big kidney grills...

Wow, rear tires are huge on the AMG version.

tom_48 · 12-14-2008, 02:29 AM

For God's sakes, WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE LED LIGHTS: THE S CLASS, 911, S6, "GAY"MAN???

IT'S RIDICULOUS AND TASTELESS!!!

bubbletea 4 me · 12-14-2008, 09:18 PM

still looks pretty similar to the old one with some interesting touches. i like it.. i would take an S class over the 7 series.

Prissy · 12-14-2008, 10:21 PM

I HATE the new S class

335ifanatic · 12-15-2008, 02:27 AM

So sexy and imo it looks much nicer compared to the new beyond ugly 7.

the AMG looks pretty sick.. one minor grief about those face-lifted taillights tho (sorry for those China pics)

could be worse:
