BMW should run an ad campaign. "If you want the original, buy a BMW. If you want an expensive copy buy a Mercedes Benz."

Well the new S class looks more like Huinday replica rather then BMW's copy
MB has no style and class, it looks cheap and slutty

Do you guys have any links or pics of the new S class? I want to see the Bimmer copying being done and rub it in a few S-Class bozo freinds of mine faces!

It does look more agressive in those pics indeed, but I still cant beleive the interior. I personally love the interior of the 7, especially with the small upgrades done to the new 2006 7's, however after looking at many pics of the new benz s-class interior, one cannot help but notice the copying, and a bad version of at that!
Also, I still dont like the side and rear of that car. It seems to me that benz always shows off the front of their cars in ads... is that the only appealing side to most models of theirs?

looks a bit like a CLS got jiggy with a Chrysler 300C and gave birth to the new S Class - looks nice though
