Judging from this latest batch of spy shots, we may actually see it much sooner, possibly as early as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Paris-Motor-Show/">Paris Motor Show</a> in October. The fundamentals of the S-Class clearly aren't changing, but low investment parts like the grille, lower front fascia, mirrors and tail-lights get updates. The interior doesn't appear to have changed much either, but based on the driver's attempt to block the view, the S-Class may be getting a new COMAND system interface, which would be a welcome change. It's not known if Mercedes will offer a new BlueTec diesel engine in the S-Class here in the States, although that is a foregone conclusion for Europe. One new model we'll definitely see here is the S400 hybrid, which pairs the 3.5L V6 with a new mild hybrid system developed by Mercedes and BMW. The mild hybrid should also be the first mass produced automotive application of lithium-ion batteries.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Aug08/21_001349_2010_Mercedes_B enz_S_Class_Spy_Photos_Em erge.html">EMercedesBenz. com</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Aug08/21_001349_2010_Mercedes_B enz_S_Class_Spy_Photos_Em erge.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/25/spy-shots-2010-mercedes-benz-s-class-getting-updated/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1293779/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/25/spy-shots-2010-mercedes-benz-s-class-getting-updated/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
