Great!!! Can't wait to see!!!

Very interested in the new engines as well.... 8) 8) 8)

SPEEDKILLAR 06-27-2004 07:35 AM

Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks :D

schnell318 06-27-2004 12:05 PM

Thanks but I´m afraid that´s pretty old :wink:

BADMIHAI 06-27-2004 01:22 PM

Can't wait for Brabus to do their thing on the new S-Klasse.

evoWalo 06-27-2004 01:35 PM

Didnt Top Gear show a brief cameo of the S class in the May 9 episode?

Sir_GT 06-27-2004 01:36 PM

That's nice. I'm happy they went for the maybach rear lights.

I can see where their design scheme is headed... but I don't think it suits the M-class.

yg60m 06-27-2004 01:36 PM

Thank you, very interesting :D

amanthapar 06-27-2004 02:09 PM

nice nice....ready to see it kick audis and bimmers....

bmagni 06-27-2004 02:30 PM

cool, id like seein also the face-lifted 7 series

Ford Capri 2.8i 06-27-2004 03:20 PM

Its seems that merc is going to keep on with similar patterns to the current S-class, on the other hand im looking forward to seeing the new 7 series BMW, which for me is going to be more difficult(i think that this is not a difficult achievement),once i see the current car very hideous, and a big failure as well

ferrari550 06-27-2004 03:39 PM

I am really looking forward to what the finish product will be like.
I'm sure all the engineering and technological gadgets will be mind blowing!!

Tomerville 06-27-2004 03:49 PM

ooo, im glad it doesn't look to similar to the Maybacks

Chaos in 1983! 06-27-2004 08:43 PM

the front looks exactly the same as the old one...

i love mercedes. i never even considered the goodies the maybach would lend to help out the mercedes line.

chipanggo 06-29-2004 04:02 AM

ooh. very interesting.

bobafett 06-29-2004 05:05 AM

God I hate PDFs.

Am I the only one who doesn't really see a difference? Boring barge...

SilviaS15Cwest 06-29-2004 05:34 PM

have you ever gotten to ride in or drive one? i have done both and that car is awesome. its quite possibly one of the few cars where the passengers in the back have just as much/if not more leg room than the people in the front! :lol:

and just all the little attention to detail make it an awesome car.

bobafett 06-29-2004 11:21 PM

Have ridden / driven most every MB model in modern production history (dating back from the 70s). Have driven Gullwings, etc.

Like I said...boring barge.

fabro_s 06-30-2004 01:54 AM

It will be fantastic a Brabus S-Class against the new Alpina 7 series

Hahahahah, knowing that current models would blow your (beautifel)550 out of the way :twisted: :wink:

Brabus, AMG, etc.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

bobafett 06-30-2004 04:19 AM

Blow it away? Yeah...with the crap interior, or the piss poor handling? Or the fact that you fall asleep at the wheel at 160 mph because you're bored? Oh, and in a straight line...keep dreaming. :D

funny how you're comparing rotten apples that came out now to a ferrari that came out in '97. :)

--Dan

bobafett 06-30-2004 04:33 AM

Speedkillar: I know you're way biased for MB, but have you ever driven any of the cars you're referring to? I'm curious, because (and I don't mean to be critical, just honest), it seems as if you're guilty of what 99.99% of car forum members are: bench racing. No first hand experience...

--Dan

amanthapar 06-30-2004 05:02 AM

bobafett, do u have first hand experience

Crappy interior, right, you're driven the italian car here, and I remember your steeringweel had some nasty blobs on it. :roll:

It seems you're also way biased for Ferrari :roll: ,don't you think before you wright something down :?

And yes, I have driven AMG models(sadly not the new one...yet), thats where I got my passion for MB, and I've also driven M models.
Whats your point :roll:

But, I have to agree, I've never driven a ferrari, and I would like to.

Maybe you should invite me and let me have a go at the beast :D :wink:

bobafett 06-30-2004 12:43 PM

Amanthapar: yes. Read above.

Speedkillar: whenever you're in town, you're more than welcome to drive my car.

Explain the bias here. The only category in which a Brabus (no AMG car I've driven so far can out accelerate the 550. And that includes the latest ones, save the CL65) powerd vehicle will beat i tout is straight line acceleration. However, if you look at the CdA, then it's obvious that given the same powerplant (no Mb comes stock with a 700bhp 7.4l V12) or comparable, there's no way the MB can keep up.

It's totally apples vs. oranges.

I know, my previous post explained that it will blow your car away(in a straight line), but of course on a track its different.
And I'll keep in mind your offer, thanks :D

Well...

Not as radical as new 7 series!

I suppose the Merc goes in the moderate way
