ImranS Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 What do you guys think of the new Mercedes S-class? From pictures, I prefer the exterior of the old one. Whats your opinion?
SW03ES Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Yeah I have to agree. The interior is a total ripoff of the current BMW 7 also.
ImranS Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 You are absolutely right! It is a pure ripoff of the 7 series, I prefer the old interior as well, although the quality was lacking.
blake918 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 I don't care for the interior or exteror. The wheel arches fore and aft are too much, and the overall shape of the car just doesn't flow all that well. From the looks of this side angle, it looks as though the trunk is a knock off of the 745's awkward looking design. And, knocking off a 745's interior, oh that was brilliant. They had an extremely tough act to follow with the '00-'06(?) S class, and sadly, they didn't impress me with this new generation. Hopefully, it's one of those "have to see in person" situations.
denslexusgx470 Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 looking at that exterior picture (not really seeing the rear end of it) but the rear is leaning towards that one car, forgot what it's called. it's the one that looks like an S-class on the front. is it a maserati? i wasn't sure what it is but that's how the rear end of this new S looks like. oh man, i really forgot what that car was. but i just saw it in the movie i watched a few days ago "Be Cool" the one (if anyone has seen the dvd) that Sin LaSalle is driven in. :P
98es Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 I think that you're thinking of the Maybach. Mercedes actually makes it, i think the exterior looks just like it. I exterior's cool looking, but the interior is defintely an ugly ripoff of the 7 series.

vcv10guy Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I'm quite disappointed that Mercedes-Benz went that route by ripping off the 7-series. There is nothing wrong with the 7series interior, but Mercedes-Benz has always had their own unique interior styling and that's now lost with new S-Class. I can live with the exterior, but those fender flares are too prominent on the car. I've always viewed the S-Class as a beautiful car inside and out, but not this one. I'll get use to it though. I accept BMW's styling now, even though I still prefer the pre-Bangle styling. Oh well...get the 2006 S-Class while you can! hehe. :whistles:
indiasfinest Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 looks like the M45 interior....speaking of S class...im planning 2 buy an 04/05..what do u guys think
SW03ES Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 M45? I dont see any resemblance to the M45's interior at all...

I dont see any resemblance to the M45's interior at all... ← i think he meant S class cuz he said "speaking of S class.... I'm planning to buy......" and so on. i'd say go for it, if that's what u want while the design is still the current one. B)
LexKid630 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Ughh i hate the looks of the new S class. It looks so ...how should i put it...fake?? The lines seem too prototype/concept to me. Like it needs more.
Lexusfreak Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 What do you guys think of the new Mercedes S-class? From pictures, I prefer the exterior of the old one.Whats your opinion? ← Agreed Imran.......I'd take the new CLS personally over the new S class. B)

90LS400Lexus Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Mercedes is not really Mercedes anymore. It is Chrysler Corporation. That is a nice looking car, but in my opinion, it looks too much like a Dodge Durango. . They now have Chrysler styling and quality, which is sad I think. Way too much Chrysler-Dodge styling outside and inside this car. The last "real" Mercedes were made in the 1990s in my opinion. <_<
bartkat Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Similar things happened when MB hooked up with Studebaker, back in the day.
