@ic144--I don't know. IMO, the LS460 has nothing on the S550.
I wasnt even aware of this color combo, but its freakin sweet. I love two-toned interiors like this. I wish car manufacturers would do this more often.
Do you know if it will become part of say the Designo package later on?? I'm sure that MB would allow a custom order as well
I at first didnt like the new S-class at all. Then I became a fan of it only with some sort of bodykit. Finally saw it in person, and I'm sold. It looks great. Until I see the LS460 in person, I might have to agree that the S-class looks slightly better.
Also just checked your site in the siggy. Pretty cool. One thing I noticed though, you spelled Infinity wrong on the homepage. Its Infiniti.

I think the only color the s550 looks good in, is the Black color benz has available. I saw a Silver one the other day, it doesn't look as nice..i would say the black makes the car look nice because it kind of hides the outline of the wheel wells.

I saw a few of them the last couple weeks on the road in different colors & I wasn't too impressed, it isn't bad but no wow factor to me somehow, & the tail end is ugly. I agree the wheels arches hidden with dark colors makes it looks a little better. Won't comment on comparison to the LS460 in terms of appearance until I get to see the new LS in person.

Last Gen S-Class looked great, and the new CLS is one of my favorite designs...........But after seeing a few S550s, Im not impressed at all.
Its not ugly but IMO its starting to look too much like other cars. It has a Japanese flavor to it, it reminds me a lot of the new Toyota Avalon. The wheel arches look rediculous.

I've only seen black ones on the road but that white one looks pretty good. All in all the Jury is still out. 
The interior though, is unbelievable.

DAAAAAMMMMNNNNN this new Benz is no joke... Car is so hot the old lady was lookin over my shoulder and couldn't keep her clothes on.... oh wait... that was me undressing....lol..
But seriously... the new LS460 is not in the same league as this car... I know I will get slapped around for saying this but the design of this benz is sooooo aggressive it just hits your azzz.... POW... Lexus quality is bar none outstanding but MB can flat out style thier azz off...
If I had a choice ..... there would be no choice
The only sad part is I'd probably need a Lexus as a daily driver since my Benz would live in the shop.....LMAO
