I think I like it. As I would expect, it has taken a lot of styling cues
form the Maybach, especially from the rear. The front still has a very nice
look, but with a sportier airdam as in the E and C classes. About the only
lines I don't like are the flat/chunky/angular accents around the wheel well
openings. This meshes with the styling of the new W164 ML and R-Class, and
while I do like it on those truck-like vehicles, I am not very fond of it on
a sedan. The panorama roof is a nice touch, as is the downward-sloped side
crease, giving it a very sporty look (something the S-Class has not had in a
long time, IMHO).

Yeah it looks less Toyopta-like than other new MBs. Love the roof...

It probably is the standard wheelbase version - we'll have to wait and see
how the "V" version looks.

Yes, it is the normal wheelbase version.

Yes, it can be costly - but not for Igor Krawtschuk
in the Ukraine, Kim Hoo in Taiwan or Han Ming in
China when they put it on servers in their countries.

Who is Herr Lehman ?

Mr. Lehmann is the most famous photographer of secret prototype cars in
Germany. He provides most of the pictures you can see of cars yet to be
launched. He also made the pic of this car. The original poster runs a
website with a german TLD. His address and identity are easy to retrieve.
So any lawyers who think that he has violated anybodys copyrights can scr*w
him to hell. Obviously the original poster either has plenty of money or he
is a fearless guy. Let's hope the best for him.

Sorry, I see now that Herr Lehmann is the photog.
At least they left his copyright notice in place.

If you change the emblem on the grille, it looks very much like the new
Acura RL. (Or, rather, the new Acura RL looks much like the 221.)
