never mind dude, you're going to see what you want to see and I'll see what I want to see. No point in keep arguing over this. Either way, MB started this, so they aren't copying (even a little bit) anyone.

I agree with them on the location of NightView Assist Plus. In the S-Class it's perfect, why couldn't they do that with the E? They introduced an LCD speedometer in the S, why didn't it trickle down to the E as everything else has?

Probably to keep costs down, and not to mention keep some things exclusive to the S.

Gotta keep the reasons/features for buying an S over and E intact. The S-Class facelift is going to be really something.

That is not to be denyed that when seeing the W212 front, the Lexus GS' lamps did came to my mind.
