I think this is about the right time to see heavy camouflaged prototypes .. usually right after the facelift ..

I do think that the F700 holds some future design strategies from MB

Especially some interior parts could be in the next S-Class I think…the F700 was/is a great concept with a lot of good ideas…

It will surely feature the double shoulder line that will be previewed on the next CLS, I´m convinced about that, and the front lights are being said to be a mix between the current car´s shape and the new CLS ones, being in any case smaller and slimmer than the W221 ones.

All i care about is Pre-Scan lol.

Yes. We've already seen W221 based pre-scan mules and last month MB showed of the new pre-scan based on the W221. Be sure to see W222 test mules on the roads very soon. Given the alien technology the car will feature, testing will be loooooooooooooooooooooooong. This thread is bound to be endless.

That looks like a facelift.

That's not how it will look at all ^^

They took the greenhouse directly from the W221, and added some retarded lines all over the doors, etc.

BTW, isn't the new model coming out in 2014? Lol. One thing to remember, the S's, as opposed to the E's, have Face-Lifts early in their Production cycle, leaving the larger chunk (4 years) of their run F.L'ed.

I think it will be a big departure from the W221, as the W221 is an evolution of the W220, and apparently M-B likes to "revolutionize" their designs after every 2 generations.

Also, I hope they go back to curvy and rounder styling, they did that so well and elegantly. At the same time, I hope Wagener and co. don't screw this up, as the W221, although a teeny bit funky in a few areas, is a beautiful car.

The designer who penned current VW Passat sedan, VW Concept C, VW Eos, VW Iroc Concept, VW Scirocco, and upcoming KIA Sportage & KIA Magentis ... is now @ MB working on the new W222 S-class.
