| RE: spy shots of new S-class
I have never liked the Nissan-ization of side styling: the line that reaches along the rear quarter panel then along the "belt-line" of the doors and onto the front fender. The line should, to my eye, run unbroken. The classic cars that we all think of as beatiful have it, both new and old. The clumsiness of breaking the line at the windshield a la Lotus Elite/Eclat and newer Nissans is like reaching for something that isn't there: you wish you hadn't once ya done it.
A new "S" for me is no longer an "obscure object of desire". It is mundane and banal.
