![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: SW or LW-B S63??? LWB when it comes to the higher class S models like the S600 S65 and S63. SWB might fit an S450, and those below. Thats about it. I really never cared for the SWB look of the S. The car has too much body-mass and flow.

![]() | Re: SW or LW-B S63??? IMO, the S-class has been designed to be LWB. SWB just looks weird.

which is sadly made not in a good quality but a high price as the fine 1/18 C216 CL-coupe. What will the AutoART W221-AMG look like? Still on current module and standard to craft an S65? I cannot accept that!

![]() ![]() | Re: SW or LW-B S63??? S63 LWB ONLY I can see the merits of a SWB S-Class for markets where a little smaller may be necessary due to fuel costs, street size, etc. A smaller "S" diesel or economy 6 cyl certainly make sense for those who "need" them. The S63 however is not a "need" car and should only be available as the "big dog" that it is, a long wheelbase, high powered highway cruiser. If you want "smaller", get the E63. (Audi should take a lesson here and stretch the S8 to A8L proportions and finally have a competitor for the S63) |

![]() | Re: SW or LW-B S63??? Well, here in Europe we have all versions of the S-class with long and standard wheelbase (only S280 available in RHD) and we are not confused MBUSA is selling S550 and above models because they are not very well sold here because of the high gas prices here (at least twice the US prices of gasoline). Here they sell enough "small" engines. And i don't understand why MBUSA doesn't offer the CLC-class in U.S. It's not very big priced and very beautiful |

…well before buying a W221 without any options, I would go for a E-Class or C-Class with a lot of gadgets! ![]()

You are absolutely right i hate that orange calyptus wood trim and no alarm system which, no bi-xenon lights, etc.. and not to mention that the same horrible 17' 7-spoke weels are on CL500 with rear wheel dive as a standart equipment for Europe. And no harman/kardon sound system as standart for here too. ![]() | |
