"Spotlight" is the section at Guitigefilmpjes aimed at making a short "pro-con" review combined with pictures and videos of cars that have been on the market for several years. Because the pictures and videos have been made several years ago, the quality may not be up to the modern standards. Still, Guitigefilmpjes would like to look back on these cars and share this with you.
In 2005 Mercedes Benz introduced a new S-class, called the W221. It was the successor to the S-class W220 and the S-class W221 is the 9th generation S-class. In May 2009, the S-class received a facelift (Mopf or Modellpflege in German), but that will be discussed in a future "Spotlight" blog.
