Though i like the MB front end, so much of the new S is much like the BMW 7 series, inside and out. Sad really.

I can surely see the inside, but what do you see thats like the 7-Series on the outside? The trunklid? I think that looks for more like a Maybach that a 7-Series. I don't see anything else, it surely isn't those puffed up fender arches....

I see hardly any resemblance between the exteriors of these two cars. The interior is similar but I like the way Mercedes has applied their wood trim.
 
What bugs me is that the side view of the S shares many cues (particularly the fender flares) with the Ford Focus 4 door sedan.

like hotcakes!
 
The new SLK and M are carrying the torch for the whole line. Hope the new S will do likewise.

Thats amazing, the best June on record and every Mercedes except the SLK and M-Class are down compared to last year. Don't forget the CLS too, it did a lot to keep MB ahead of June 2004.
 
I predict the new S will be the best selling S of all time for several reasons, its different and looks to finally be of the type of quality an S-Class priced vehicle should be.
 
This year though the facelifted CLK, new R-Class and re-engined C-Class should all really turn things up in July, August and Sept as all three are introduced.
 
I'm glad to see the E-Class pulling close to its month by month percentages of last year. I think it may be able to rally late in the year and re-claim its best seller in class spot from the 5-Series.

While the new engined Cs will help some against the initial firepower of the new 3 series, and the CLK will hold steady with it's changes (rather than continuing to decline),
 
It's the R-Class, the CLS, the M, and the new SLK280 added to the SLK line that will continue to boost sales.
 
S class will decline until the new model, CL is in the toilet, E class is just going to hum along until a face-lift and new V8.
 
You also may see a surge in G class sales toward the end as some people will see it as their "last chance" to get one.

I had missed the CLS..... by scott1256

and it is doing very well. too.
 
Merc1, you mention BMW......their sales are down for the first half of the year. They improved performance of the latest editions of the 3, 5 and 7 series but the looks are weird. The new C class may give the 3 series a real challenge!
 
Ikramerica, you made me smile..........the 'last edition' of most things does usually give sales a boost......may happen with the G class also.
