Generation-change at the pinnacle of automotive engineering: Mercedes-Benz presents the new S-Class. The new luxury saloon will be appearing in the showrooms of company-owned outlets and authorised dealerships as of autumn 2005.

As in the preceding series, the new S-Class will introduce technical innovations which make the flagship Mercedes model an example for others to follow. Pioneering safety features and exemplary comfort continue to be the outstanding attributes of the S-Class. The new saloon also sets standards in driving dynamics with its agile handling, while offering even more driving pleasure with new, more powerful engines. The new S-Class is replacing a model series which is the world No. 1 in the luxury class, and of which around 485,000 have been produced since 1998.

I see a lot of Maybach in that car.

They need to keep their brands' corporate faces separate.

I don't like the new safety measures... pre-cognition of an accident left to a computer is going to result in people getting killed in a near collision where normally there would just have been a scare.

Eh.....the interior looks like a cheap american ripoff from a BMW. Sadly enough people will still buy this car because its the latest and greatest Benz.
