I don't .. but the interior just like the common 7 series with all the leathers and woods ... nothing special .. I change the speakers with ADS and install it in the original speaker place plus a set of Venture Sub and use a power amp ... :D

So nice interior :D
Sorry for the spoilers :D Seriously, nice car ;)

stefanel ... no need to say sorry .. I really appreciate ur honest comment ... :) .. everyone is free to give any kind of comment ... including the bad too ... hahahahhha ... :) .. do u really like to see the interior? .. :)

I think that it looks badass, but the spoiler on the back by the back window looks something from a hatchback, but other than that, its SWEET. Anyway, back to the post, I love the S-Class, looks a lot more sophisticated than the others, I can't wait for the new S-Class, I think I saw a camo version the other day. But I do live in Sindelfingen, which is like 5 min from stuttgart, so it could have been.

I got to drive a 745i once , i was very impressed with it . Theres wood all over the inside , all the accesory controls are on a big lcd panel and the thing is very comfortable . What really won me over was how fast the damned thing was !!! I put my foot into it and it took off like a bat outta hell . Almost forgot I was in a luxury car !!!! Then I look in the back in disbelief at the roomy back seats . I really enjoyed it. But the one downer is the 80k+ price tag. I could buy my ole 84 camaro 10 times over , a new 35th ss , and a mint (dream car) 69 Camaro ss 396 jet black and put the blower on it myself and then have a truckload of gas money !!! My dad used to have like a 76 or 67 sl450 mercedes convt with a manual when I was a kid , that was a pretty fast car too , dont know much about the new mercedes but that left an impression on my that mercedes are sporty as well , but then again i got to drive the bmw hehe

A new S-Class?:confused: .. I think the latest new S-class just upgrade the front lamp into more clear glass and some upgrade rear lamp too ... but no major change right?:)

I agree with u bigJusin about the comfortable rides in BMW 7 series .. That was one of the reasons I bought this car .. My father drives S 320 solid black '98 and my brother drives S 320 dark blue '97 .. After I drove it, I didn't like the handling, the suspension and the car behave ... MB still use conventional suspension at that time and the 7 Series already using hydraulic and self leveling suspension .. :)

I have friend who works for MB on an internship, he acutually works on the bumper sensors for the passive safety system that is coming out soon. But he showed me some very early drawings and concepts of the S Class. It looked a bit more sportier, a little low slung i guess you could say. The door sits higher up, as in i think you won't see the head too much from the outside and the front windshield has a lower angle, so that it has lower drag coefficient. But these were early concepts..And MB is coming out with its own version of idrive. Which I suspect will be better than BMW's version since MB has had the chance to work on whatever people don't like about them..I guess germans like there gadgets. The new S Class is supposed to come out in 2005, or late 2004.

wow ... amazing!:) ... but it means the life cycle of the S-class getting shorter ... heem .. from the way you describe it sound interesting .. :) .. I hope MB will make the model as good as the new SL .. I like it very much .. :D

I noticed that too, MB is shortening the life cycle of each model these days because of competition, so many automobiles are nearing the quality of an MB, for much less.. or for the same, so there not the only one in town anymore. So they refresh the looks of the cars more often because everyone else is, basically.

OK ... I agree with u .. and lately I feel MB a little bit overprice .. especially at here ... but they start to learn by give more discount ... :) ... I like the New SL and new E class ... :) .. how about you?

They are a bit overpriced, but I think that people, in America at least, there average salary is going up, and more and more people are able to afford them. The biggest chunk of there sales is from the States. In Germany, they have really good financing plans for them, and so a lot of Germans can afford them also, even with there declining economy. Anyway, I do like the SL and the new E, the styling has seemed to get more on the "wild" side to compete with the likes of BMW and Audi. Conservative out the window. What I don't like is the new CLK, it has lost its sporting side I think, looks too much like a C class..

Maybe in US .. but in the asian countries MB sell with high prices ... the gap is quite big compares to BMW and Audi Prices ... :) ... I heard about that very nice program from MB in German if you buy with company name's right? .. :D .. so it's quite hard for BMW to compete with MB .. :) .. heemm .. you said the right word about the new MB design that have wild side ... :) ... I think BMW and Audi have to find new design to be able to compete with the new line from MB ... personally I don't like the new lines from BMW ... for me the styles are too much ... :p .. But I love the new Audi A8 ... soooo handsome and elegant ... what do u think? .. but the A6 need new design ... :D .. about the new CLK .. the body looks too skinny for the coupe even after install with aftermarket wheels and lowering kit .. the previous CLK look nicer and sportier after install with the big wheels and lowering kit ..

I heard that buying with a company name, you can lease the car, and every time they make a significant remodeling, they give you the new model to lease at the same price as the older car that you leased before. They also have this 10 yr financing plan that is makes it easy to get an MB. I just saw the new A8 on the autobah today, it looks so much better than the new 7 series. It has a very powerful stance on the road. Quite nice I think. I really think the new S is gonna be really awesome though.

the A8 I saw at the German airport in black color .. oohh maann .. If I want to buy the big sedan than A8 will win my heart over S class or 7 series ... but I need to see the new S-class u have been told .. I tried to check on the car magazine but still couldn't find it .. :D

i saw that new s class in the new sketches that my friend showed me from the MB company. I don't think that there from any magazine..

but many times the sketches and the real car can be a lot different ... like the new 7 series .. the sketches was not that bulky .. :D ...

You should see how much better the Porsche Boxster looked in concept form than production. You cant draw any conclusions - forgive the pun - until you see the finished product, in the flesh

True..but the S sketches didn't look too outrageous.
