Without even experiencing the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class yet, I am delighted to say it is reaffirming itself as the large luxury sedan of choice once again in the international community with some impressive features.

Road Signs inside the building...

Can't Miss That!

The C63 Is My Favorite AMG vehicle!

The S63 AMG, In Ruby Black Metallic

Notice the IWC Clock!

There are no light bulbs in this entire car. All LEDs. A speaker in the ceiling of the car...

Notice the Burmester Sound System

Rear Seat Door Controls

The Reclining Seat and Ottoman.

There's a CD or DVD drive. Cinema on wheels.

There's also a real non-grounded power outlet!

A Burmester Center Fill Speaker on the ceiling of the car. This is the first I've seen a speaker in the ceiling!

Tree and Valve.

SLS AMG Final Edition

Do not be deceived. Despite having wings, I do not fly. I'm a penguin.

German DTM Race Car with nice accoutremants in the interior.

This is the S65 AMG.

The entire grill mesh and surround is chromed. A little too much if you ask me...

The headlamp for the S65 AMG. Once again, there is not a single light bulb in the entire S-Class. LEDs are technically resistors.

A lit AMG Floor

The wheels have Carbon Ceramic Brakes.

Concept Car for Video Game

Strikingly beautiful car.

My favorite SUV. I actually prefer a 6-cylinder diesel version.

I really do not like those satin-chrome buttons and the screen sticking out of the dashboard. Give it to me old-school. Take away the flash, I don't want the pomp and circumstance.

The new E63 AMG S 4-Matic

SL 65 AMG.

The front of this car looks fantastic!

The new CLA 250. Another great looking car.

Thank you for viewing. Remember to view: http://automotive.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-1076/pi-6140908/ti-897788/s--39/t-automotive-puristspro-la-auto-show-live-mercedes-benz-s65-amg-gla-suv-and-vision-concept-launch/

e. None of the above.

Key Points from the Discussion

The new S-Class is reaffirming itself as the luxury sedan of choice, featuring impressive innovations like an all-LED interior and Burmester sound system.
The author personally finds the new S-Class a bit too luxurious and less 'serious-looking' than desired, but acknowledges its overall appeal.
The C63 AMG is highlighted as a favorite AMG vehicle, with a preference for the Black Series edition over the SLS.
The evolution of sport sedans like the BMW M5 suggests a broadening for a mass audience, with less differentiation from standard models compared to previous generations.
Modern sport sedans are increasingly designed as grand tourers capable of carrying families, rather than pure driver-focused machines.
The S65 AMG is praised for its combination of beauty, class, and power, with surprise expressed that Mercedes-Benz still produces V12 engines.

What a post, my friend! I am deeply in love with the concept car. Will we ever see it in the real life, one day? Best, and thanks for these slices of dream. Nicolas

How cool is that concept car!? See the ultra low profile tires? The SLS AMG Final Edition is sure to be highly collectible in the decades to come. Dean

They will make it, but not Mercedes-Benz, a coachbuilder will take a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG chassis and build on top a car that looks like the Vision Concept. Here's a video of the designers of the Vision Concept. <object width="853" height="480"><param name="movie" value="/amp;amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="/amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application

I loved it. And it's affordable, you can drive it in the video game! All you need is a video game, and a TV. And the car was even more amazing to see in person. What did you think about the Lamborghini Egoista?

The Vision concept car is really stunning. I wasn't a fan of Mercedes but those AMG are really nice cars... Mark

... maximum mess with a minimum of effort. Other than that, I like the S-class a lot. Weird, didn't recall having thought like that a while ago. Maybe the 50th birthday affected my brain, and I have become a "senior driver" ... Marcus
