S-class just look the best with AMG package. New 7-series looks stunning without M-package, also the M-package for 7-series looks like a mess.

On the contrary, the rear bumper of the M Pack F01 is a mess, the chrome looks so bad on it.
It really depends on how you look at it. The S-class looks flawless either way IMO same goes for people who see it one the street who don't know about all the AMG package options.



The Pre-facelift model had a sophisticated look about it. that it really didn't have to have the sport package to get noticed. It did not look dull. A sedan in this segment doesn't have to be sporty.



The sport package is nice and brings it out more, but it is not a MUST which is why most S-classes don't have it.



Even from the side it looks good and looks like a flagship car as it should. Even the facelift model use of LED still make it seem even more elegant, which is what the S-class is all about.



Looks good without the AMG package.

This S-Class has been a mess in some ways. I´m convinced we will see a W222 with more organic shapes, a true MB like rear lights, a better designed interior, and a more agressive front end. And specially, I have faith in that we will see a slimmer glass house too, you´ll see.

A Mess? This is like the best looking SEDAN on earth IMO. Flowers grow when this car even passes them on the street. This car is flawless in everyway pre-facelift and facelift model. Seems like it's sales prove that.

I loved the W126, W140 and W220....but the W221 is freakin remarkable in every aspect. The interior is outstanding with the highest quality materials applied. The exterior has "BOSS" written all over it. You should see how MAGNIFICENT it is just setting in traffic around other lower models who could never compare.

The S-class is the best thing since break bread...it's even more thrilling then the discovery of electricity.

Just look at it -



The engine just breaths excellence. We can only HOPE that the W222 lives up to W221.

Don´t get me wrong, It´s a true beautty, specially that one you´ve posted, but this W221 has influence of Maybach, and has some type of different style of interior, more like the E65 7er than Benz-like. This is what I am refering to.

And, again, I´m convinced the next S-Class will have a much more cohesive design.

As long as it doesn't look like an oversize E-class, then I am fine.

I will take note of this post. If you stay here in the comming years, I will see with you how different the new S-Class will be from the W212 E-Class.

Lol...Like I said...If it comes out looking like the E-class (Boxy) then I will be canceling my Mercedes-Benz Fan Club membership. Then I will take several sleeping pills and have my body shipped to Mercedes-Benz headquarters with a AUDI tattoo on my chest.

For the pre-facelift version only! I think the fornt bumper design of the non AMG pack of the pre facelift is ugly, and those foglights even worse. The AMG pack fixes that, and makes the front very handsome imo...

I actually like both. Guess it depends on the person.

Shallow who?
