Why not?

its very similar to the color my 2003 ES300 is. It’s like a dark burgundy color, almost looks black.

I totally disagree. Pull up somewhere in an LC or an RC-F and see what attention difference there is, most people won't give the RC-F a second look.

Working a deal on this S580...we'll see how it goes. its a 2023 leftover and the lease support is really good, if the numbers work out it should be less than what I am paying. I love the 7 but there isnt anything on the ground that I like, and ordering would be 4-6 months...

$10k lease cash and another $10.7K for AMEX cardholders plus the discount for it being a leftover should equal $30k+ off...

1. Yes, I don't think RC-F or GS-F draws much attention. Engines are great but because they have RC/GS, as expected, they don't get as much attention.
2. 2023 left over? You meant 2024?
3. Is AMEX only MB thing? How does one get this?

Alex on autos said those wheels were a bit harsh over larger impacts, Aside from that I’d be scared of punctures from potholes.

Beautiful color! Good luck on the deal.

Btw, that's not a sedan. It's a 4 door coupe according to one single, solitary CL user.

That's nearly the color I imagine you in in a luxe version of the Escalade if you went that way.

My neighbor has one that color, I'll grab a pic.

That's a very nice color!

What does the overall spec look like?

^^^ love that red on the S class, similar paint on the W222 looks gorgeous too, there should be more of them on the road, but most people just like to go with plain, boring colors

Apparently everyone is different but I'm with you. I'm not comfortable with this color and alike. And IMO, with some dirt on, it looks really bad. Just me though.

‘I agree with you. LC500. lS500. LX all have more cachet. The only F car that really has cachet is the RC-F Track Edition and the Fuji edition. Too bad the 5.0V8 is ancient though.
