Brand new AMG S63 sedan and coupe is stalling for no reason in the middle of the road all around the world, U.S.A., Germany, Australia, Canada, South Africa. 
Brand new $200k car that stall in the middle of the road? That is scary, embarrassing and extremely disappointing. Some claimed a software update fixed the issue, some car's still stall after the software update.

This Korean guy is extremely **** because his car stopped in the middle of the freeway twice and almost got hit by a bus with his wife and infant son in it.

IIRC there was a magazine road test that had that happen to them...but in a SL63 I believe. I do have to laugh at BNR34's surprise at buying a ~$200k car and having a problem like this. Don't own an exotic! Or even a RR for that matter.

Doesn't seem to be an issue with the S550...

While my 10 years old pretty much free to me LS430 continue to work flawlessly everyday. People have asked me how come I am not tired of my old beater? This is why 
$200k and totally pissed off vs. free and flawless performance. My choice is clear
The only thing I don't have is fancy LED headlights.

Because you really made a choice to continue driving that 10 year old LS430 instead of buying a $150,000 S63 right BNR?

Try to answer that question again if you are ever sitting on the side of the freeway fearing for your life with your angry wife and kids in a gridlock, you are blocking traffic and the tow truck can't get to you for like 4 hours during intense summer heat
I am in no way wishing that on you since I know you do own a 15' S63, I hope your car perform flawlessly for you.

If somebody offered you an S63 as an even trade for your LS430, you'd take it.

Is just a car, is all just about money
I would drive the S63 until it start stalling multiple times, lemon it..........profit, then buy another Lexus. The GS-F doesn't look too bad
