I think all of these vehicles are hideous and look ridiculous (save for the 500, which is not my cup of tea but isn't offensive). I wish these automakers would just make their hybrid/electric vehicles look like normal cars and not insects. You know what? That i-MiEV is ridiculously styled. The Leaf does look like a…

Reading this review objectively, it almost makes me want one. A nice blend of sport and luxury, a well-designed and comfortable interior, decent handling. (This is all ignoring the fact that no manual is available, which is itself a dealbreaker)
But then I look at the exterior...

They can be, it depends on the model and options. S550 starts at $95K. S65 is $212K.

Actually, I've always wanted one, of any vintage. Including the W221, which, should I win the current powerball jackpot, would almost certainly be the first thing I'd buy. I just have strong feelings when it comes to this car and how it should look. I don't think it looks bad, but it just needs a few tweaks, and…

IMHO, it looks good, but not great (strictly exterior styling I'm speaking about here, that interior is phenomenal.) I'm not a huge fan of Mercedes' latest design language to begin with; overall I would characterize it as soft, which doesn't really work on a car this big, it just comes across as bloated and a little…

I completely agree with you. That grille is stupid-huge; it needs to be about 85% of that size. And I hate that plastic distronic shield in the middle of the grille, it doesn't blend well at all and I immediately notice it on any car so equipped. I don't want a giant ugly plastic shield on the front of my $100,000…

I agree with you. Mercedes hasn't exactly been hitting it out of the park with the styling lately; I think soft describes it well. While I like the W221 S-class (it's one of my favorite cars), it seems I like the S-class a little less with each passing redesign, and while this new model looks OK, I wouldn't call it…

If only Lincoln would bring it back.
They have such a history and SO MUCH POTENTIAL, it kills me to see the brand in it's current state. It's a shame, really.

Our Ford, who art in Dearborn,
Hallowed be thy tailgate.
Thy King-Kong size, thy hill be climbed,
On earth, as it is on asphalt.
Give us this day our dually diesel,
And forgive us our hybrids,
As we forgive those who drive Tundras and Titans.
And lead us not into a speed trap,
But deliver us from Kansas City Assembly,
Amen.

Dammit, Nibbles.
There it is.

I rest my case.

Suck it, Taylor.

Maybe because it just met a mirror for the first time.

FIX IT, JEEP.

Nailed it. Well said.

I've thought about this a lot, and in my opinion, the timid driver is much worse.

Put it this way: the aggressive driver is more likely to get in an accident. The timid driver is more likely to cause an accident. Or traffic. Or both.

I'm not endorsing either behavior. But the aggressive driver is at least somewhat…

This is gorgeous. Much better than I expected. I love the front end and hood, love the profile, and that interior looks amazing. The car overall looks classy, aggressive and modern at the same time, without being offensively ugly or overstyled. I see a lot of Ciel influence in this, which is encouraging (I want…

This lane is for PASSING.
(I know Travis said it first, but if anything deserves an annotation, it's this.)

Looking good. Really good. I see a lot of Ciel-influenced design elements here, and that's a very good thing. After all, I'm hoping they put some Ciel derivative into production as a flagship, preferably as a full-size RWD S-class competitor, if not a huge convertible like the concept (wouldn't that be sweet). In any…

Amazeballs. This exceeds my wildest expectations. What a gorgeous, classy, well put-together interior. Well done, Mercedes, well done. The exterior I'm not exactly sold on yet; some of it I like and some I don't. I'm glad to see the bugling wheel arches and bangle-butt are gone. However the new headlights don't…
