S550 looks great in black. It keeps the bulging fenders from looking too prominent.

I like how it's parked inside the house. I normally park my cars in the living room, but if there's too much crap there the kitchen will do in a pinch.

LOL. I think that's a garage though - note the ladder off to the right.

Awesome interior lighting!

i like the CLS's exterior a lot more than the new S550
my dad had a 05 S500, white on beige leather
beautiful
total classy elegant look

S550 has the toughness more modern look but im not sure if thats what i want in a mercedes S

i mean common, isnt this much more elegant and classy?

Default That's My Garage...

...yes that is my garage with the S550. I sleep in the car so I may as well have a nice garage...LOL

For the Lexus crowd the new S550 is something to behold even in the daylight, not just in ambient light. Take some time and check it out...it is a fine automobile and a credit to the industry.

Nevada, you took that pic? I thought it came from a brochure. Looks sweet!

So you took delivery? Congrats! The R-class dreams and the W220 ownership went quickly, didn't they?

You have been following my car life...:-) Yes I shot that image and was pleased the way it turned out. Someone told me it had be posted here so I found my way to the Lexus showroom (not in real life) and thought I would comment.

I peruse MBW occasionally... Enjoy the road trip, if it hasn't happened already.

I owned a '06 S430 and believe me the S550 is what I want in a S Class. Day and night between them...more elegant and more classy. The quality is unbelievable and the ride is the same. Try it you will like it....
