But the W222 was a good preview on were things where headed on W223 giving its massive focus on tech over quality.

    The reality is the Mercedes S class has had to move with the times - people don't buy these vehicles to last them two decades: they are disposable (just like a Tesla) with a lot of tech that will be obsolete in five years. Who the hell will want the headache of owning one of these in ten years? Most of them will end up in scrap yards. It's just not economically viable to build them to Rolls-Royce quality.

    Love your videos Daniel. I started with the W220 videos and then got one. Loved it. moved into the Mercedes W221 S550 after, and honestly there are things in the w220 which are better made. Fuel filler cap was metal for example. And many more little details that prove the W220 was not a bad car. Mine was preface lift. Never had a warning light on. Like the W221 - more powerful but as they go on these S classes they loose something along the way. I've had every S from 1963 to 2010, and some multiple times over. In order to accommodate the tech and price of all that added computing power, we see cheap door straps, rubber door surrounds, lots of hidden cost cutting. You only have to go to a scrapyard to really see how they were built.................

    S-class has been on a decline since W140. The build quality of this s-class is objectively worse than BMW E90, which had felt window sill lining inside and real metal trims. (if it looked metallic, it was metal). Material quality in W222 wasn't much better either. Thin stuff all around. It just did a better job hiding it. W223? It's not even trying to hide it.
