One of my fave cars ever made by any manufacturer . The W221 Mercedes-Benz S Class was dating back to MB's roots in regards to robustness, reliability,ride quality,design,attractiveness .
However, it's sad to see this car only lasted 7 years in production .Facelift models were really spectacular .
V12 models as I illustrated in the images did come with the distinctive grill design as well .
As much as it was unpleasant for me to see this blockbuster car coming to end it's production , I am very happy the model that replaces W221 which is called W222 is none the less for it.Honestly, it is even leaping forward

 

I agree. I like the W221 more than the new W222.

 

I agree:

 

I still want one of the W221 S-Class models...until I turn around and look at my X358 XJ.

 

I'll take a w126 on Monoblocks please.

 

Benz's are great cars - shame they depreciate !
