I don’t know how well they’re selling, but I know a couple of people who are interested in getting them. I’ve only seen a couple of them. One was parked on my street one night. At first I thought it was an S430 or S500, you can’t tell the difference till you look at the badge. I think that MB will try to make the S-Class exclusive and on top with only the S450, S550 & the S600 (of course the AMG models as well). I also don’t think we’re gonna get any diesel or hybrid S-Class.

I hope we get a diesel or hybrid S it would really be a worthwhile addition to the lineup in the U.S. imo. Yeah a W221 350 would likely be a 70K car and with a "V6" it might be a tough sell against some competitor V8s that start at that price point. Wouldn't a S420 CDI be awesome though! M

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: New S Class W221 Pics and Info Guess what passed by my street yesterday? That’s right, the ’07 S550. Actually my roommate saw it. He said it was at a traffic light when he seen it, but when he went to take a pic of it, the light turned green. The car was silver, just like this one: ![]() He said he was very impressed with it. He had always joked about its headlights. He said they looked like a Honda’s headlights. But he changed his mind once he seen it. Many members on the MBWorld forum have seen it around the city and in NJ. I wonder why they're driving it in public before its US debut. This one in NY ![]() http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=123088

My guess is that a lot of MB execs, reps etc. have one at this point if for no other reason than to work out any kinks. Then at some point the car mags have to get one for those roadtest we'll be reading about in their Feb, March issues. The car is now what about 6-8 weeks away from being on sale? M
