Thanks NSL

I don't know if I could trust Distronic Plus on New York City's streets

This means that if you're stopped at a traffic light, and a car is in front of you, all you have to do is pull a lever and the S-Class will hold down the brakes for you, then accelerate when the lead car starts moving. Then it will brake when necessary. You could drive the length of Fifth Avenue with your feet on the dashboard; all you have to do is steer.
This is funny:

Want to enrage a Mercedes official? Tell him or her that COMAND (the display screen is pictured here) feels like BMW's equally Byzantine and widely loathed iDrive system. The Mercedes official will call you names and in some cases yell at you (this happened to us). They protest too much, because they know it's true

The new S-Class leaves us with almost nothing to complain about.
Come on, there's gotta be something
