Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / July 2006S 550
I saw the new S 550 today and I have to say it is the nicest Mercedes in years. Beautiful lines and a very elegant interior. The cheap plastic look of the recent S class is gone - thank goodness. I am afraid the new Lexus LS470 that is supposed to be the Mercedes killer is going to be just the BMW killer. Glad to see Mercedes is back in gear. Hope the reliability is back also as it is a complicated car. Personally for simplicity I would prefer steel springs to air springs. Otherwise great new car Al > I saw the new S 550 today and I have to say it is the nicest > Mercedes in years. Beautiful lines and a very elegant interior. I was not much impressed when I drove a S350 (W221) last October. Yes, better than the predecessor, but especially on the outside the design is boring and uninspiring, e.g. headlights and the ugly wheel wells - and the trunk lid always looks like not being closed correctly, the gap to the bumper looks weird. > The cheap plastic look of the recent S class is gone - thank goodness. But still not up-par to the price of the vehicle. > I am afraid the new Lexus LS470 that is supposed to be the Mercedes LS470? Don't you mean the LS460?? > killer is going to be just the BMW killer.

A little typo > gave the engine and extra 100cc Thanks for clarifying, I was asking because I thought I might have missed a LS470. Juergen |
