The current S is the hottest big sedan styling wise ever. Timeless.The new one will look like a bigger E-class.

def. it slook very japanese... i think it look sbetter than the blue version, shown before... but its not really mercedes styling in the front, esp the headlihgts... the headlihgts are actually pretty mcuh shaped like our Acura CLs.

BTW, wont that pedestrian airbag goes off if you were about to hit ANYTHING in front of you? what... it could smell out humans? haha

wont it come out everytime you get into a slow bumper to bumper accident?.... which would SUCK, bc even if u didnt have to pay for a new bumper, ud havee to pay for a goddamn new airbag...
personally i highly doubt this feature, if it does come out, will not be in the US version

DaimlerChrysler AG has registered the name:

Holy Moly! What should I be thinking here? 800 HP?

The new S-series... WOW!

Mercedes-Benz is taking no chances with its all-new 2006 S-Class. Along with the evolutionary appearance revealed here, Stuttgart's future luxury flagship receives a new range of engines as well as an improved interior and a host of high-tech features, all aimed at fending off challenges posed by the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Volkswagen Phaeton, Cadillac STS and Jaguar XJ.

Read it here:

It looks almost the same as the current S-class, with the exception of the headlights.

But look at all the awesome gadgets, and how Mercedes at least appears to be stepping up to the quality issues.

Design = meh....

Inside will be sweet. We will have to wait and see on the quality though. Have heard a lot of nightmare stories on them Merc's as of late

I think the outside looks a bit dull, like the LS from Lexus.
