  | I actually find myself getting more partial to the regular FL S-Class as opposed to the AMG Pack FL S-Class. I love the standard bumper; elegant and substantial.

| My love for the FL S-class has grown once more! It's beautiful, much more sleek and elegant that the pre FL! By the way GBOY, did you test drive the FL? Not that there would be much difference

| I too like the Front end of the Facelift much better but I'm still not sold on the rear yet. I have to see it in the real world to better judge it. I will be test driving a few this weekend so I can spend more time 'abusing' them.

| Yeah, the old tail lights have a more 'upmarket feel / look', however I saw an after facelift model at a showroom in Oostende, Belgium with the AMG body kit last week. Like Christian said not bad looking. It's the rear  Ps: be a Good Boy, GBoy during your test drive  .

Both look good, but the Facelift is real sharp!

| I thought so. Didn't know they had the 2010 out there already. I need to go there ASAP. Of course the Bethesda one is a little closer to me.

 | Both look good, but the facelift would look much better if the pre-facelift didn't have the AMG pack.

| Lol...How is it that the S-class "MUST" have the AMG package to look good? The 7 series on the other and is suppose to be good with or without the M package?  Considering that these car represent sophisticated luxury, they really don't have to be sporty. Sure the AMG package gives the S-class a more aggressive look, but a regular S600 looks fantastic in the right color, with the right wheels.

The new F01 7er looks very good without the M Pack because its bumpers are more agressive than the S-Class ones. However, the front bumper of the 7er is not my cup of tea, and specially on light colours doesn´t look specially fine, and the M Pack front bumper looks much better. On the contrary, the rear bumper of the M Pack F01 is a mess, the chrome looks so bad on it. | |
