Dumbest Tagline Ever?

Spooky? WTF?

Explanation (from their review of it):

Bottom Line:

Nothing this big should be able to respond so quickly and handle this well. Spooky competence.

They call it a "perfect" car. So "perfect", it's spooky.

I'm going to turn this into a let's-mock-the-new-S thread by saying the illuminated speedo looks awful and the mouse contraption in the console is silly.

Check it out, I found the S-Class' long-lost twin (as far as the front end goes, anyway):

True, very bad. Still not as bad as the two-story Civic dash. WTF is up wiht that?

Civic dash: it's new, it's now, it's... wait a sec... it's 1984!

They're actually trying to make it look like a Maybach, but I really don't see why they would want to do this. That actually diminished the Maybach brand.

I've seen a couple and there is one that parks in my parking garage at work and it really does look like a maybach.

I actually like the new S-class, except for the delicate wheels in the above photo, and the "me-too" mouse controller. To me, a luxury car should be intuitive and effortless to get into and drive... but no, the Germans feel a need to send their customers into brain freeze just to turn on the heat.

Those two fronts look nothing alike, unless you have very blurred vision and the overall shape of the headlights appears "similar." Nothing else proportionally or visually appears similar.
