We dont need to argue about it, I am sure we both like different things and my comment is just my opinion. As I said before as long as you are happy with your purchase that is all that counts.

Congrats again on your purchase and keep that hot rock massage rolling.........

I got to sit in the back of a fully loaded S550 with the - package worth about $150K at the NY auto show.

It was amazing in every aspect except for length. it is still not as big as my 460L in the back. . .

Sounds like a really cool car with lots of capabilities and features. All that added technology is not my cup of tea. A thousand different extra parts required to run all that added tech - and all of which at some point going to fault/break/wear out. Not for me but that's why there are lots of cars to choose from, everyone buys what they want. As you have a good full coverage warranty should not be too much of a problem.

I just got done reading the latest article of Consumer Reports, and the new S-Class as well as the CLA model were so unreliable, it tanked Mercedes overall reliability which definitely surprised me, and i would be wary of these first generation S-class redesigned models...!

SW13GS, when you jumped inside one of those totally loaded cars, they are absolutely stunning, but wasn't it still not big enough...?

Come to think of it I did think it was a little bit tight with the ottoman extended.
