Exterior: Meh, a bit fussy and overstyled, and a bit incohate in the detailing (as seems to be rather typical of most current designs).

Interior: Much nicer if again a bit fussy and cluttered in some of the details.

 

It looks like there will also be a available a limo version of the S-Class called Pullman.

I love classic Pullmans; it seems like every dictator had one. Former Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito had few of them and they were his favorite vehicles.

 

I remember the Top Gear episode where they compared favorite Dictator limos. Good times.

As to the new, I'm really disappointed in the exterior. While slow evolution is normal for the nameplate, it's reached the point of the old XJ where it's starting to look more stale with every update instead of less. Mercedes has a really strong design crew and their corporate style has a lot of potential, but their conservatism is turning this car old before its time.
