2012 S-class rumors by AMS - 12-01-2007, 03:27 PM

AMS reports the new S-class (coming in 2012) will be offered in up to 7 different variants.

Current platform offers 3 variants: SWB sedan, LWB sedan, coupe (as CL class)

The new platform will offer some additional ones:
  • cabriolet based on ODC,
  • extra long sedan (Pullmann revival),
  • 4dr coupe also possible (perhaps even as SWB S-class substitute - since SWB totals only 30% of whole S-class sales).
With S-class platform expansion MB aim to directly rival Bentley.

The article also says the upcoming new E-class will come as LWB variant - exclusively for Chinese market only (and will be assembled in China).

Here we are again.... starting speculations on the next generation. Uggh, sounds so tiresome... and so exciting. Let's not forget that the current car this time is a jewel, and I am in no hurry to see it go.

Also the last generation W220 S-Class was after the facelift one of the most exciting cars on the market in my opinion! Looks absolutely great, and still does! But also a new version of the S-Class is going to be interesting - Mercedes will improve the whole thing. The newest technology etc - I think the F 700 is pathbreaking here. So, I can't wait to see a new S-Class in about 6 years?!

Hope it's gonna come later than that because we're very interested in getting an S500 in the coming years.

It will definitely not come before 2012! So I think, you couldn't do sth. wrong with getting a S500/S550 in the next year! It is a great car!

^^so if Mercedes is going to target Bentley, does this mean there will not be a smaller Maybach?
