The above link will take you to the page with more info and lots of good pics of interior and exterior ... the interior is arguably the most high-tech of any car so far .... and much more elegant and fancy than before .. even the key fob is chromed out ... Night Vision will be there also with a display showing in front of the driver on the windshield ... all-new upgraded fully-massaging seats .... Dual DVD Screens with internet access and other cool stuff for the rear passengers ... rear seat massage, heating/cooling/refrigerator ... etc.. etc.. most likely

This link talks a little about the upcoming new engines ... all with the new 7-Speed transmission.

The S600 V-12 gets slightly more power, going up from 493 to 517 ..... the S65 will go from 604 to atleast 630 or possibly more HP ... the S 550 will have maybe around 388 Horsepower to compete with the 750Li, and it will be finally a good decent 32-Valve DOHC V-8 with variable everything finally. The bottom models will be the S 450 with like around 300 or so horsepower 32-Valve V-8 .. and an S-350 with a 272 horsepower 24 Valve DOHC V-6 ... and the S-400 Diesel with tons of torque ....

Supposedly this all-new S-class will come to the U.S. at the beginning of 2006 .... we'll see ... the all-new CL will come out atleast 6 months after that ....

Hallo PersianJ,

 

kennst du schon Finally, Official Pics/Info 4 All-New 2007 Mercedes S-Class (Anzeige)? Dort ist vieles zu finden.

Cute, "i-Drive" for the front and rear passengers.

That burgundy color is luscious, but other than that, if Mercedes is seeking to trump BMW as the maker of the worlds most unattractive top of the line model, they're doing a fairly good job. Looks Asian as hell too.

That's a lot of content and detail for a car under 150k. Something tells me the buyers down low are paying for it.

[Thunf]

Definately a step in the wrong direction. The current S-class looks twice as refined as this plastic crap.

[bleh]

o so they rebadged the camry? it looks nice with the ford focus headlights

the clock is a nice touch, and i like the gauge cluster too, just not in a benz....

[iroc-z89]

[PersianJ]

Still good to see that old Mercedes Bashing still goin on in here !! :-)

Atleast we all can agree that it is going to be the new standard for the luxury car world again ..... and when we finally start seeing these on the road in person they'll probably grow on you guys and it'll look much better .....

The S-550 should be a great value for the money ....

[SERGIOE34]

The front lights are ugly,The rear lights are ugly,the flares on the fenders are horrible,And i cand beleve they stole the 7 series intirior but did a bad job of it.

Oh and i just noticed they even stole bmws column shifter.

[bleh]

maybe. i have a feeling itll grow on the rest of the population first though, then they will think: 'damn those asians where ahead of their time'. i dont know.

i dont know if it will ever grow on me. some things have and some havent. i still think celica taillights are ghey, i still think the post y2k 5 and 7 series bimmers are gross. i still think audis b6 body style is dumb, but the b7 is a very welcomed improvement. i still think h2s are disgusting. hopefully benz will do a quick facelift after a year or two of criticism.

oddly enough, mazdas syling has really grown on me. i used to think a miata was a fags car, but now i really like it. likewise with the 3, and 6. i also used to think the mini was cheezey when it first came out, but that changed. for a good 6 months i thought the enzo had the ugliest butt ive ever seen, i guess my feelings about that have just turned neutral.

Well all dam* carmakers stole the idea of automobiles from Mercedes in the first place!

Remember that BMW has been bashed for their designs much more and harder then MB.

I don't know what to think of the exteriour, need to see in with my own eyes before I decide. Currently I'm in the middle. And what's up with those wheel arrches?!

The Interiour is just straight of stolen from BMW, nothing wrong with that but I was expecting more from MB. Get rid of the clock in the center console!

On the technology front MB has again proven it's self. A good chunk of inovations and nice torquey engines should make this car a pleasure to ride.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. BMW did an early redesign of their 7 series under pressure fron their customers maybe MB will have to walk the same path.

I was never a fan of an AMG S-Class, they should stop producing those alltogether!

Hallo PersianJ,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Mercedes (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

 

Der V16 Motor zum Selberbauen (Anzeige) ist auch genial.

[LateNightCable]

Well dam* carmakers stole the idea of the automobiles from Mercedes in the first place!

Well Has anyone here ever seen the first "automobile"? It's more like a friggin' carriage with no horse. Oh and Thunf, it's okay to say damn.

I agree, the AMG S-Class is a strange thing. It's far too bulky to really be a performance car, even by AMG standards. And production numbers are close to zip.

To Persian, "Mercedes Bashing" is not the intent here, at least from most of us. But can't you understand why anyone would look at the new S-Class with reservation? I hope it's not the standard, because if it is, cars are going in the wrong direction. The new S-Class is clearly 7-Series inspired in a number of ways. But then that's hardly a flattering thing anymore.

[wEstSide]

I think that's why they called it a "horseless carriage".

[iroc-z89]

yeah i saw one of them for sale actually, think of a big wooden rotted out carriage with the predecessor to "briggs and stratton", mounted on its hind quaters. Like 4 horsepower and the steering system made a radio flyer wagon look good. yeah 1897 Motorized Carriage

[bleh]

Remember that BMW has been bashed for their designs much more and harder then MB.

yea they have, they deserved it, i always though that the more modern look mercedes was taking on was breathtaking, but this.... this is the breath you take as your stomach starts to squeeze, right before you...

I don't know what to think of the exteriour, need to see in with my own eyes before I decide.

very good point, i should see it in person before casting judgement.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. BMW did an early redesign of their 7 series under pressure fron their customers maybe MB will have to walk the same path.

thats what i was thinking

[LateNightCable]

Yes, horseless carriage if you will. But Mercedes is full of it if they claim that Gottlieb Daimler or Karl Benz invented of the car, they simply perfected the concept of internal combustion power, even though 4hp is nothing to hoot and holler about. No single entity invented the automobile, it was an evolution which began with steam cars as far back as the 18th. century and slowly progressed from there.

About the new S-Class, I've found that more often than not, if a car looks gastly in the press pictures, it'll probably be a real tub in person. The fender bulges for one thing seem way too much. That stuff is kind of juvenile, better suited to a Lancer Evo than a Benz sedan.

[wEstSide]

Hey are you trying to poke some fun?

They did invent the motorcycle.

[LateNightCable]

First internal combustion motorcycle. Actually, the first "motorcycle" recorded in the history books was created in 1869 by Sylvester Howard Roper, an American inventor - you guessed it, powered by steam. He also built steam cars. Everything that is powered by internal combustion, you can be sure was powered by steam many years before.

Here is a pic of the 1869 model. The first "hog". Later models could do 40mph.

[iroc-z89]

nice bike just wish it had brakes and rubber tires for steering
