    i can't believe that nearly 7 years have passed since the w220, a few months from now we will be saying goodbye to such an amazing car :(
    i think the "s class" is a curse especially if it was your first car, because then you will be comparing every other car to it and won't feel satisfied until you own one.

    Agreed. I especially love the S-Class, I went in one the other day and I completely forgot how quiet they were until I got in again. I own an A8 and it's extremely quiet and comfortable but when I stepped into that S-Class I know it was in a completely different class. I drove a 7-Series a couple of years ago too, and it was, in 1 word, fun. Shame their styling isn't any good. But all 3 are great cars. I don't see why anyone complains. Unfortunately there are people like him in this world...

    2012 S65 AMG. Best S-class ever! Stupidly powerful, amazingly comfortable and that V12 sound gives you the "fizz" as James May calls it. It's also very pretty. Aggressive and elegant, sexy and classy, all at the same time. Like a female villain in a spy movie!
    I got the chance to drive one of these babies for a whole day and it was the best thing I've ever driven. The car is like a butler that caters to you, so you are always comfortable. The radar cruise control makes sure you don't hit anything in front of you and with the side assists on, the car can almost drive itself. The massage seats make sure your back gets royal treatment, even in corners, cause air pockets inflate and you don't move about in the seat. You just gently sink into the seat.
    But the best part is, that the restrained and classy butler can turn into a tire-shredding, corner eating, Autobahn dominatrix!
    Put everything in sport mode and this car makes you feel alive! The acceleration is brutal and the car is stable at speed.
    Also comfortable even at 250kmh. Fuel consumption was 24l /100km, but I didn't care! Low miles per gallon are nothing when the car gives you many, many smiles per gallon!
    Best S-class ever!

    That's a great choice. I would've picked the 2.0 TDI A4 though. If you're going to get your dad into an A5, try to get him into the 3.0 TDI version, that engine is a beast. I have the same one in my A8 and it definitely performs when you want it to and it's surprisingly economical for such a big engine. I get an average of 1000 miles on each tank, and that's with combined city and motorway driving! And when you rev it, it makes a lovely sound.

    There were some recent model years with great problems, primarily injector systems. I remember seeing an disproportional number of new Mercedes out of order on the side of the roads. However, Mercedes learned the lessons of the recent past and the old reliability has returned along with some of the best interior designs ever and functional options. Most of the problem models have also been properly modified and repaired to stop the break downs that plagued the brand, at least in Europe.

I really wish BMW did this more often because BMW truly has a long, rich and proud history. Something I've noticed most people know little about, It would be nice if BMW themselves made a video like this so more persons could grasp the true significance of the brand (including young BMW enthusiasts who don't really know the history).

When I worked at a shop, I saw the older SED's came in with 100's of thousands of miles on them and it surprised no one. SED's are perfect for people who hate diesels because the engines have a ton of character to them. Parts are expensive though. New ones are equally as good.

    BTW the interior of the 7 series looks exactly how it should. Its not supposed to be glittery and busy looking. Its supposed to be flowing and have a calming effect while still providing u with hints of its underlying robustness.

    This is my favorite generation of S class. Only things that breaks it is the damn steering wheel. I find it's mismatched to the rest of the interior.

      I initially thought that but apparently my friend in the Mercedes world says some of the contrasting interior trim is design. Subtle differences in color obviously but not too obvious.

    In the w221 they really stepped up there game in interior quality and better air suspension i might add.

    I totally agree with you, however, i recetly went to the launch event of the new Lexus range, I have to say that you are wrong in saying thinking that they are unreliable, if they were unreliable and cheap, why won't people buy them? The new LS is amazing! check it out!

    @sspope Maybe you're right, but judging from the cover, be honest and tell me why would they produce the AMG model if the S550 was better?

    i've heard many good things about the 7 series. Hope it's doing you well. In Europe, most tech know pretty much what to do with a benz, but in America, it's somewhat difficult because all they know is chevy, dodge, and ford which most of my family stays away from.

    Really can't talk bad about my SC 430, never had one problem in 4 years of ownership. The LS flagship could be there, but Mercedes has so many models of reliability and performance coupled with leading edge technology.
