They had me until I found the auto trans and underbody lights. It doesn't get more poser than that :P

Not trying to be a Cadillac fanboy but isn't the CTS-V just as fast for way less? On the looks department it's a tossup, and the Caddy doesn't come with all that tech, thats why it's cheaper, and weighs a lot less.

If that's not a selling feature then I don't know what is.

LEDs are the new neons?
Not sure why I would need 21" rims when 17" rims will fit around the rotors just fine... and yes, I realize that means this is not the car for me.

I'm digging the brown, but it needs wretched looking sealed beam headlights and black plastic bumpers that stick out 8 or so inches for the effect to be complete.

completely pointless... you know because people who are buying 100,000 dollar luxury cars really give a shit about gas mileage. Personally for my hundred grand I would go with either an XJR or a Quattroporte and sit in just as much luxury and not look like a European diplomats chauffer doing so.

@Bullitt417: You do know they offer DIESEL S class cars too, since decades, and they sell pretty well.... so clearly MB didn't build it for you, but I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.

It's a nice car, but I also have to echo Capatain Slow's comments. The complexity of the electronics in this beast make me quake in abject fear. And it's not just this lovely Merc, it's getting the same way in almost all the luxury marques. Look at the 7 series BMW, for instance. I wonder if anyone is going to make a car for Luddites like me who just want luxurious metals, real leather and real wood interiors, and a simple six-speed manual transmission? I don't really WANT a flat touch-screen for controlling car functions. I like the tactile feel of switches that snick in a satisfying way when I press them. I like rotary knobs for fan speed, that are infinitely variable. I like paper maps, not GPS units. I am becoming techno-fatigued.

Don't look at me that way, kid. Now get off my lawn...

@DoctorNine: I think these are cars for folks who get them on three year leases (preferably picked up by their company) and then turn them in after two years. Thinking of the maintenance and repairs these will require in ten or twenty years is terrifying. Maybe it's time to get that doctorate in Electrical Engineering...

Maybe some clever person will figure out how to rip out ninety percent of all those electronics and get down to the basic, decent car under all of the gizmos.

True. But if you weren't suffering from cognitive impairment related to using too much toxic hair product, you would realize that the two aren't mutually exclusive.

My reply button isnt working... but this is directed at "Engineerd has Ben in his Head *star*"

To help out with your ePRS:

Cool new toys: Night vision, Lane Assist, Drowsy Detectors with warning signals, ABC (Active body control) for those windy days, improved adaptive cruise control.
Hybrid: S400 Hybrid V6 (I'll call it S400H in honor of Lexus) and will have goodies on the inside like a 40GB harddrive, Lithium ion battery, USB, Bluetooth, LED lights, and all the other luxuries you'd expect for more money than your house.

Expect release in August 09

@Chris P. Bacon: Most of that was covered in the first post about the hybrid.

I didn't cover the USB, Bluetooth, Audi-like LED lights, and the world's first lithium ion battery. ePRS does not understand hard drives in stereos in this age of digital media devices such as iPod that you can just plug in.

Thanks for catching that other stuff. I fell asleep about half way through the press release that was good competition for BMW's.

Time to get some more coffee!
