And I don't think it's accurate to say that besides the led light clusters, it's a S-Class: I don't see it sharing a single panel with the S-Class...

I'd just like to add one thing:
now that I looked a bit longer to it, I see that the styling cues of this car ar all new to Mercedes!!! Besides the grille, of course...]]>Dec 20th 2006 7:52AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/
Otherwise, except for the grille that'a about 5% too big, me likes alot!

Too bad the rear doors aren't suicide, though.

Big question is, should Mercedes not have put a Maybach badge on this?? Are they trying to distance themselves from Maybach already?]]>Dec 20th 2006 7:54AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 7:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/
And Tiago, The sentence was meant to convey that it simply retains the S-Class true 4-door style. I corrected it to reflect as much. ]]>Dec 20th 2006 8:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 8:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/
That said, this thing is freaking ugly. Those lights look 'naff, the grille is way too big, the wheels look like they belong on an 80s Cadillac and the proportions are all wrong for a convertible.]]>Dec 20th 2006 8:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/
It needs to be sleeker like the CLS. That will be hot.]]>Dec 20th 2006 8:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 9:05AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 9:26AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 9:33AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/
But still it is far better looking than the 99-06 S-class, and even than the 92-99 one.]]>Dec 20th 2006 9:38AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 9:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/mercedes-benz-reveals-ocean-drive-concept-for-detroit/Dec 20th 2006 10:52AM
