Even though I was very disapointed upon second meeting, w/ all the hype, I still want to drive this car.[/quote]

Once again I have to caveat my oppinion since the car I drove was a "stripped down" black on black s550. The car does look great on the road(even in black which I dislike...). Those buttons btw are made of aluminum,my appologies for the previous complaint.
-The interior is huge and the seats are big and comfortable...I will have to wait for a real car with the 16 way adjustable seats to compare it to BMW,I see no reason to believe they won't be as good.
-The BMW and the Merc are very simmilar, the Merc is a minimalist approach and the BMW gives you sensory overload...I guess I preffer the BMW.given that THEY ARE BOTH VERY CLASSY AND BEAUTIFULL.
-The ride was dissapointing, enough power but not tight.It reminds me of the old Jaguar ride...or the new Lexus feel , you are on a cloud. Very quiet , fast and responsive but you don't feel the car and the road. In that sense if you prefer a sporty ride then go BMW if you want that old BIG car luxury ride then this is your car.(Maybe the amg models will be better in this sense).

I guess I like the car a lot , it is distinctive looking and special . Dollar for dollar I would probably buy it over a 750...not sure about a 760 vs the MB600. It seems that the MB 600 will price at about $150,000. or higher in which case I would deffinitely get the BMW 760 at about $115,000. FULLY LOADED.
They will have pricing and options available next month and I will be able to make my decission then...I'll be taking European delivery in June so I'm cutting it tight, either way BMW or Merc I dont see how I loose
