That car is really impressive. For anybody that still thinks that the new S class is ugly you really have to see it in person. Pictures do that car no justice. Just looking at the car you can feel what kind of road presence it will have, theirs no other car on the road that can even come close to that thing, it's defenitly lightyears ahead of the w220.
On a side note i know many of you guys don't want to hear this but the new lexus ls looks really impressive, not quite as qood as the 221 but much better then the 220. The new LS is much bigger and finaly looks like it's catching up to the s class.

Yep, said very well. Just my thoughts...

I'm really impressed with the specs of the new LS. I really like the interior.

The W221, yeah the pictures don't do it justice at all. You have to see it in person before you criticize it.

the w221 acctually looks good in person i have been in a W221 S500 silver exterior with amg sports package it looks amazing the only downside was its price which was 121,000 dollars i know the dealership over here is exspensive but when you enter the showroom they treat you well not like porsche which are crap with dealing with people

The dealership in Winston-Salem has an S550, if I am ever down there I''m sure they will let me check it out.

Yup, real good in person, has a great presence.

When will all dealers eventually have a W221? I don't think our dealer has one yet.

All dealers should have gotten their demo W221s about two-three weeks ago. They are still at my local dealer as of yesterday, just waiting for test drives. The ones I've seen here in Houston are all silver.
