Hot take: Mercedes slightly screwed up the new S-Classes

Two things.

Thing 1: New taillights are ugly. They remind me of that waffle-iron thing Pontiac did in like 1992.

Thing 2: Vertical grille slats still look ridiculous on a beautiful, low-slung car. The last grille was perfection. Naturally, they only punish you with the ugly grille if you pony up for an AMG.

Other than that, it is mostly flawless and remains probably my favorite car on sale today.

I ended up behind one of these in traffic. I have to say, I liked the view from back there.

I’m assuming you mean the current model, which has lovely taillights.

It looks like a white pound cake with little wheels...

But grid lights are the future!

But the backseat is very un-S-classe

Yeah, the grille is a bit faux-aggressive.

I like that the “560" moniker is back.

Yeah, but I’m okay with the new one too. Sorry.

It’s the s-class, with a lowercase S.
