Default What a car!!!!!!!!!!!!

A neighbor just bought a '09(I think) white Benz S63.
What an amazing car!I love the styling of the S550 but this car is just fabulous with the AMG pkg.

It is a superb automobile. Looks grew on me tremendously. I Agree with the AMG package it looks COMPLETE!

The 2009 S63 looks great, but the 2010 S63 looks amazing. MB did a great job with the refresh...love the new front led lamps and new tail lights.

Yes indeed. Yesterday i seen one in a brownish color at Whole Foods. Had to be a 2010 or 2011 because it had the newest LED treatments on the mirrors and fogs. I said to myself "I'm a Lexus man at heart but this machine is a beast to look at". The car looked massive and had a presence like no other. Great car!!!

No way I can afford a S63 new or used.
Starts at $133500.

Very nice!
A S63 looks much better in person then pictured,IMO.

Very nice. I wonder how people plunk down for a $135K+ car. Either you're wealthy and you pay it all off in one go, or you're living beyond your means.

s63 price is nothing compared to the s65

I like the 2010 refresh, made it look sharper than the older models

Sorry guys, I know the S-class is supposed to be "the benchmark" but, seriously - the headlights of this thing have a shape of an iron! Household appliance inspiration, may be? And those bulges on the fenders... total mess.

the S has always been my favorite flagship. interior, not so much, but there is a real sense of presence and occasion when you drive it.

Just a classy looking car.
Great lines and trim.
Never drove one,though.
