The first seconds are imitating the Volkswagen Golf commercial - "this is the man who put a million on black, and it came red!" Even the music is similar.
I love this as I do all Mercedes S-Class. However, interesting to note that in 1988 Top Gear tested the then new Mk3 Vauxhall Cavalier which also had electric windows that stopped if somebody's hand was in the way - and they retract slightly as well for much less than the Merc!
haha little safty tip so they dont get sued at the end there :L

Merc styled this S, the way Toyota styles the Lexus:
Perfect in everyway...
... but forgetting to give it a soul.
Nor an elegant body.
This may well be the most anonymous limousine ever build...

@BillDFC They have improved in recent years alright, but they're nothing compared to the W123 or W124's.
