I traditionally do an expensive car for the special Annual Holiday review each December. If you can wait that long, I might (?) plan the S-Class for this December, but I can do one sooner than that if time is an issue....maybe even in the next week.
Here's some other Big-Money cars I've done in the last few years and recent past:

And AutoUnion is correct.....the Golf/Rabbit and Jetta have both been average or above in reliability the last couple of years, according to CR. CR is not perfect, but it is one of the best reliability sources I know of.
I'm happy VW found a way to make the 1997 Camry and call it a Passat.

Styling wise, vw had taken this car to a new level of mediocrity. I see nothing exciting here. How will they differentiate themself from segment leaders? I sat in the new Jetta and the interior was horrendous compared to the outgoing model. I hope that doesn't carry over to this car. It makes my mother's 07 Camry styling look very exciting.
And in terms of reliability, vw will have to pick it up if they really want to increase market share to meet their goals. My friend's passat blew two water pumps driving from SF to NY. It was 2 years old. 4 day trip took him 2 weeks.
