well, that's why i think the s class is very overpriced unless it's the s55 or the s600 come on, s430 for close to 100k, damn

and maybe that's why so many people lease them instead

yup, only the new one has supercharger, that's why the much more massive power

Whenever in doubt of if a car is real or not, tell the guy to show you the engine. One guy rode in in a Lamborghini Diablo and it just didnt sound right to me. He kept claiming it was real but I smelled a kit car. Told him to show the engine and what do you know... Fierro!!
