Mercedes Benz unveil the W223 S-class

[Syndrome]

The car which all other cars used to be bench marked against. I am not a fan of the new model. There was a time these cars had real presence. Now they are almost anonymous on the road. The last true S-class was the behemoth W140 model.

I like it, but I hate that plastic square some cars have on their grille these days.

I like the interior even though I'm not a fan of the screen only design

IMO Mercedes styling has gone very KIA. Not a fan, I would be going Audi or Jag myself.

Love it, bar the rear lights.

Hey at that class once your in the cockpit you'd be feeling very cosy you wouldn't give a toss what people think..
I like it, front looks great to me the rear has lost its pre model appeal but as said, a floating nice lounge room.

That's what she said.

But back to the car it does look good, not sure it is the great technological revolutionary behemoth it once was. It will be interesting to see how they have integrated HVAC controls and the like into the screen, many have done it and failed badly.

One small thing that I thought would be on this car and saw in the Honda E was the wing mirrors as cameras, a smaller footprint and looked to have been a good addition.

Not a fan of the facade, but the technology looks the goods. Certainly lives up to the luxury market. Liking the power but with those times, I was expecting quicker. But at the cost of a small house with depreciation being a huge factor, I am assuming only CEO's and Managing Director's of large corporate companies could warrant buying one through the business via a lease of some description?

I reckon it's a step backwards on their current design language - they've smoothed out the angles.

It looks similar to the current stuff except missing chromosomes

The black square is for the radar cruise control I think?

Yep. Just need to wind down the window to spit on poor people


Front looks too much like an E class. But all of their larger sedan look pretty similar.

Can't help but think the tablet stuck to the dash craze is going to date as hard as 80s digital dash trend

I owned a w126 back in the mid 1990’s. a good car but way over priced. Should have bought a el gt. Stupid.
