I do have to honour to start this thread, sadly, only for posting the very first CGI about the new S-Class, featuring organic shapes again.



I post on the car forum carspyshots.com and there is a supercars insider that has a few clues about the upcomming MB design. Stating with the new CLS, the design won´t be s hard and squared as on the new E-Class, but softer, with new shoulder lines and with agressive front ends. Acording to this insider info, the new S-Class will feature a similar face to the next CLS, with the headlights remaining the shape they´ve been featuring along all the S-Class generations, but this time being smaller and slimmer, entirirely LED, perhaps.

Anyway, I´m expecting to see Huck´s CGI about this new S-Class.

Lol so here we go again..i expect this to be the longest thread in gcz history

And i expect the new S class to take a radical step form the existing..
The design lingo has done its 2 generations now..

PS
Are we sure that it will be called W222 ??

I have no clue about its internal designation, however, I´m very very interested on its development, Mercedes launched the W221 in a very tumultuous period, and because of that we saw that rare rear lights, and the same interior design as on the E65 7er, wich is far from my tastes.

As I´ve said, I would expect the next S-Class to be more refined, not as tank as the W221, with more fluid lines, and not that bland.

It 2009 and we have until 2013 to discuss about this car

^i think the previous S class thread was the largest ever..
Time to make a new record..

Like i always say..only a S can beat a S..

On the development..

One option I have heard regarding rumours is producing the S-klasse and then a Super S-Klasse to replace the Maybach but have it badged as a Mercedes-Benz which is what they should have done in the beginning.
The Mercedes-Benz Star has the same cachet as either Rolls-Royce and Bentley much more than a resurrected brand no one knows of until they investigate.

As you are a BMW insider you probably won´t know anything about this car, but Has BMW any type of info about its development? Where is its design pointing?.

Sounds like a swell idea to me. Resurrecting a brand with no familiarity but with only a precious few was never a good idea on MB's part, but again that's when they were under seemingly incompetent leadership. Expecting sound decision making from such a group of individuals would be foolish to expect. Perhaps it will be a Pullman for the masses?

Hey it still feels to me the w221 has just been launched.I have a feeling the next gen S will be more a evolution of the current car with a larger grill and some interior changes.i am shure their will be some great technology and great comfort..Good luck MB
