oh yea they did. The car is amazing!!!!

W222 with the updated lights is the best s class I’ve seen by far with its presidential look

Personally I went for a 2000 Mercedes CL500 bought in 2020 for £5,500 ($7000) With 45k miles, FSH and in great condition. I never thought I would enjoy the CL500 so much and it is now firmly cemented in my affections. The CL500 is very undervalued at present, with luxurious interior, smooth V8, compliant ABC suspension and a very stylish 2 door pillar less coupe looks.

I prefer the older one interior better!

I have a W221 my personal favorite simplicity understated classy interior and beautiful exterior new one is tacky and ugly with tech in your face and presented in a 12-year-old boys' version of classy. MB dropped the ball and i hope 2025 goes back to something like the W221 or my second favorite W222.

@@erics9754imo the W221 interior was very bland but nice. The W222 makes it look more of an S class. Especially the interior with the ambient lights

I personally would never purchase a first year Gen vehicle. If I go for an older model, I'll definitely start at the 2016 W222, and honestly, if I had the money, I'd be paying that $130k not even thinking about an older version

Great job my man

Great job being the new kid on the block, and you pick the right one. The 2018 s450 4matic v6 will beat both of these. Three strip head lights are beautiful! 4matic 18 inch tire give you the smoothies ride!! six cylinder better engine which saves you gas. Burl wood steering wheel. Are you soled?

I looked at a 2015 and the seats were hard as hell and it wasn't a true long wheel base

Well from my MB mechanic advice, w221 and w222 are leaps and bounds ahead of luxury and interior quality compared to w223, and the reliability of the w223 is just garbage enough to be considered luxurious, so I’m sticking to both my w221 and w222

I did not like the new model at all when it was revealed. Once you see it person, the vehicle looks amazing. Masculine and handsome

5:48 LADIES AND GELEMEN XD XD

The new one looks CHEAP ! That LCD screen looks like an afterthought on the new one, while the W222 has 2 hi-def screens integrated into the dashboard, much classier.

Yes, and yours was built with class and solidity the new one is just a piece of garbage. Sadly money and brains never go together and good taste has nothing to do with wealth so MB probably thinks they made an appealing car when at least to me they made the ugliest and tackiest piece of crap with I pads stuck all over. They got rid of switches that felt classy and responsive and changed for the sake of change. All they needed to do was tweak the W222 a little bit not redo the whole thing it was not broken. What MB should have done is focus on top-quality parts and improve reliability which is true high-end for people who appreciate quality. High-end to me is furniture made to last a century or more high-end cars should be solid like the W140 was. It has nothing to do with let's focus only on tech and bells and whistles lol. They went for the lowest common denominator appeal to idiots who like shiny things and big screens to amuse their small minds and garbage taste.

Good question

W222 is clearly better than the new one. Cannot beat the interior of the W222

Nah i will take the older than the new one.. styling is much much better plus wait a couple of years the new one will depreciate big time

new one is ugly next to the old one - old one is timeless - one odd: the navigation system will not be updated after a while ----bullshit! and that is why people want to upgrade - yes the navigation system makes the man (any car now)

W140 is the best one. Older one looked better in terms of styling but new one takes it for technology.

I like the old one not just because of money

w 222 has the best interior and exterior mercedes has ever made

W221 2010-13 S class is even better..the 600’s have the 550’s beat

I’ve noticed that every Mercedes s class around the 30k mark have 100k miles I’ve heard that they hold up pretty well and I mean mechanically but these cars still scare me lol I would feel more comfortable if I could find one with around 80k miles at 30k

I agree not blaming Musk though many douchebags buy Teslas. MB should go with older more experienced designers, not pimply-faced kids who think driving a iPad on wheels is classy. The new one has no class a bland exterior and interior that is hideous. I really can not see anyone with half a brain buying one. I see so many 1 and 2-year-old W223 for sale. I hope MB will go back to building a classy car again

The new interior design is a disjointed mess. At least around the driver´s seat. Just how MB managed to f....k the dashboard up soooo much is beyond me. BTW: The new BMW´s interior design is the same. Just awful.
