IMHO though, it doesn't look that good. Sorta destroys the graceful lines of the W220. And I recall reading something in a magazine which stated that an S-Class estate would flop. People who buy such cars are generally happy with the big trunk space already offered by the S-Class. Also, if they have a family and an S-Class, it's likely that they also have an M-Class or an E-Class ESTATE in their garage for exactly such "family purposes".
That is probably true actually - the E class is an excellent estate wagon (or station wagon) with generous rear luggage space - the idea of an S class wagon is really nice but probably not viable in reality.
