The New S-Class Coupe...

[Gally]

Oh my, other levels of want, I do like the CLA at times, Red AMG model is superb looking but the S-Class looks great. Not cheap but what a great alternative to a boring Bmw equivalent. Story here...

Specced properly it's probably more than a decent SLS! Still want!

 

[AdDaMan]

Wow. That's awesome. Full of the latest tech too.

 

[Goodj]

(primeval grunting and rutting of the desk)

 

[JD]

The back is horrendous. Looks like a Peugeot or something... the badge is in the wrong place, looks too low. The rest is OK, but certainly "new levels of want" Kevin!

 

[Budgie]

Back looks like a laguna.

 

[Advikaz]

Very nice, Merc are really building some lovely cars of late.

 

[Gally]

I'd side more with the Peugeot look at the back! Again compared with equivalents it's awesome!

 

[Matt_90]

The interior is stunning.. exterior isn't bad.. I guess you don't look at the mantelpiece when you poke the fire. I think its a shape that will grow on you over time, I look forward to seeing on in the flesh.

 

[Scrooge]

Wow!

 

[Gally]

Big fan of the Newer Mercedes range. Even sort of 08> C class looks superb.

 

[Ian_182]

Nice car but it looks a little bit like a 6 series.

 

[Crybert]

Yeah not really sure how this is better than the equivalent BMW. Looks alright..nothing special though. The price will no doubt be outrageous too

 

[JD]

Which looks far better, Ian. I love the new 6.

 

[ColinG]

It is a stunning looking thing, but thanks to the Peugeot comment above, I will only ever see a Peugeot rear end from now on!

Interior looks sublime!

 

[Stefan.]

Interior is lovely!!

But the front looks like a 6 series and the back does as stated look like a peugeot..

 

[Crybert]

seen one in the flesh on the motorway in this colour. Looked insanely good!

 

[cat171]

Do like!

 

[Matt W]

I don't think that could be any more awesome. Space in my fantasy garage next to the 4C.

 

[Paul.M]

I'm more a fan of the interior than the exterior, not that it is in any way ugly.

I agree with everyone who has said Merc have really stepped up their game recently, some lovely looking models have been produced.

 

[kpowell911]

Much prefer the new 6 series to that!

This, 100% Peugeot lol.

The size of those discs is comical.

 

[Ian_182]

I wasnt complaining by the way guys,i think all the big coupe's look good atm.

 

[Waitey]

Did they run out of budget after the rear quarter?

6-er is far nicer.

 

[Daniel]

I love that. Properly nice.

I really dislike the new bmw's at the moment. Very bland.

 

[McGherkin]

Does nothing for me. S-class, and coupe, are two things which should never be mixed.

 

[ben_p]

I love that. Properly nice.

Here here

 

[ch!ppen]

Yea, i'm also struggling to see how this looks better than an equivalent BMW? I mean, it looks smart - but that back end is a bloody Laguna! Hahaha...

 

[Gally]

It's interesting. I love the M6 but the difference is night and day!

 

[Matt W]

Bet you'd love a gherkhana session in one though.

 

[Herr Flick]

Lovely. Looks about 30 foot long tho.

 

[McGherkin]

Bet you'd love a gherkhana session in one though.

I'll pass.

 

[Chapppers11]

I'd take an M6 over that. Too much going on.

 

[Joe#]

I love that. Mercedes are making some really nice cars at the moment.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Neighbour has one of these new shape models and it's bloody ugly when sat next to his slightly older version. He even agrees himself.

 

[jayxx83]

The styling across all mercedes is pretty tight at the moment. Although I agree with the Peugeot comments, in the metal it will look far classier. Got one of these on the way come march and it's something I would never previously had considered. I think they have done well to make the cars appeal to younger folk.

Most of the current merc range look far better in real life than in pictures due to the finish on the paint. I personally can't wait to see the C63 replacement.

 

[Waitey]

The fronts all look good.

The arses on most are terrible.

 

[Gally]

The C63 replacement is going to be insane after the success of this one.

How do the model names go on mercedes? Bmw have E46/E90 etc? I've forgotten Mercedes one.

 

[McGherkin]

W and then the model number. So for example W124, W202 etc.

The above is W222 IIRC. (or at least that's the current S class, don't know if the coupe version has a separate number)

 

[Gally]

Ah that's it! Had V in my head for some reason!
