It looks a lot like Meseratti Quatruporte. Look at the grill, reminds of that car

Franky I think the problem with the kidney grille is that it is recessed instead of protruding.

Compared to Autobild’s artist’s impression from back in 2006 which sported an equally humongous kidney grille, the Autobild version looks much better.

Obviously, this car is made for chauffeur driven. This explains the lazy design of the dash etc..very minimalistic.
The front of the car looked so dated..and boring. I guess what it lacks of, it tried to make it back with huge gigantic wheels.
The rear have a hint of the Lexus.. no originality..
I think this time around, the S-class is more sophisticated and prestige looking.
I thought they would have start integrating some Maybach features in it..like a reclining rear seat..looks absent here.
The gear shift looks very out of place. Angling it make it worst.

The front has a very prominent grille but I believe it has to do with latest pedestrian impact protection legislations.

Ugly is as ugly does….the front looks like all current BMWs, with bigger kidneys (to carry the weight and ego of a typical well-fed BMW driver), and over-sized rear light clusters (Kia and Hyundai, you now have new a design challenger). And if you look closely, the slopes at the side of the rear bumper mimic those of the latest C-class. The interior is same old-same old, which now looks more like a stretched 3 series. Suddenly, I miss Mr Bangle.

The integrated exhaust seems to be the in thing now. Everyone’s doing it!

Sweet-looking car! Will definitely buy one if i had the money. or ask my dad to replace his ‘95 S320L into this.

fab_4 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:05:12 +0000

but no doubt the interior is very well-laid out….and might have to agree to knight_templar. no way would this car win with the looks alone.

Is it me or the new 7-series looks a bit like the corolla altis when viewed from side?

based on the product life cycle, this should be all new not a facelift. I think its all new with the latest f-model designation. The design is bad. The front looks like it was alright and then someone slammed into a wall and flattened it to enlarge the grille. Weird. The taillamps look a bit like the Tiguans. It doesnt gel with rear. This car has to go up against the new S-class and the Merc has always beaten Bimmer in this segment. While the Merc looks just OK, this one is bad. If Bimmer wants to beat the S-class, its gotta do it in the tech department, if this is the finalised exterior design. Round 1 goes to the Merc, hands down.

I guess it look slightly more masculine especially the back.
Worth the facelift.

Very pretty! But of course this is beyond me. Have to earn at least 20k a month to be able to afford this.
