Spy Shots: 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Flagship Begins its Strip Tease

These are some of the most revealing scoop pictures yet of the next iteration of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousine, codenamed W222.

Automakers tend to loosen up on the camouflage when a car's presentation is drawing closer and from what we've heard, the new S-Class will arrive in Merc's dealerships across the world during 2013.

Spied: Mercedes-Benz Testing Renault Kangoo-Based Citan Van

Here's our first real life glimpse of Mercedes-Benz's upcoming Citan urban delivery van that was teased through a handful of sketches earlier this month. If the Citan's shape looks familiar, that is because it's based on the Renault Kangoo series.

To elaborate, the two automotive groups have formed a strategic alliance that will see them working together on a number of projects including, but not limited to, the development of a common platform for the next Smart models and the Renault Twingo.
