Honestly, this looks downright beautiful, when you compare it to new BMWs.

It looks so much more modern than the W220 counterparts of the era.

@TedwardDrives I really think that, had they come out with the LCI bodystyle right out of the gate, it wouldn't be so universally hated. The LCI fixed a lot of the gripes about the design, and then Alpina took it to the next level. Sure, people (mostly purists) would still dislike the car because it's not as beautiful as an E38, and it's just as unreliable, but I think it would've been regarded as a nice evolution instead of the disaster that it was.

@MrCarGuy I know I'm supposed to compare it to the W221 since its a newer design, but we all know that the E66 doesn't hold a candle to what is arguably the best modern S-Class made yet. However, even if it was for just one model year, the W220 and the E66 were sold side by side and cross shopped by buyers. Don't get me wrong, the W220 is a gorgeous car, and criminally underrated by Mercedes purists, but in my opinion, the 7er aged better.

@mro9466 I'd rock a face-lift 760 if I could afford the maintenance and upkeep of what is basically a Rolls Royce in a 7 series body. But everything after that was just L after L design wise (aside from the 1 and 2 series)

@frederiquekruger4818 I saw what Tyler Hoover had to deal with in his 745...I wouldn't own one even if it was a gift! 😅
