To this day I agree with Mr. Sacco, a lowered roof changes the character of the W140 series! Thank you for your redesign of the current W223 series. You were able to "square-up" the lines and restore some brawn to the S-class. You are an Excellent Designer.

    The point of the s-class in the first place is elegance and luxury, that's a fact, back in the 80's and 90's Mercedes followed trends just like anyone else, boxy cars with solid straight lines and not much going on, just like the trend of modern cars, sleek looking with minimalistic designs, smooth creases and flowing lines, which is much more fitting for an S-Class, Mercedes never intended people to look at the s-class and say "that's a luxury tank", it's purpous was to never be aggressive because theres plenty of examples of that from AMG (e.g. the 300E AMG) it was always intended to be modern and high class, I think the new S-Class represents everything they aimed for the S-Class to represent, elegance and luxury

U don’t need to modify every new car that comes out to make it look like an older shapeless versions of 4 generations ago . Let car design evolution take its place .
