some of these big cars their turning circles and maneuver abilities are actually incredible

yup i told her to get the gls but she rejected it. plus schedule doesn't work coz our lease was ending and gls was still a year away

 

Especially with the rear steering options a lot of them have now.

 

Off to a great start...but good that MB quality control caught it very early.

Those kinds of things happen, at least its caught early.

 

With only 1,400 units in the wild to be fixed (likely less than half delivered to customers) and a very straightforward fix, not a big deal. Obviously not ideal, but it's not like they forgot to weld the seatbelt mounts or something.

 

The tech is next level....I am warming up to the design. Quite the Park Avalon ski ramp.

Engine sounds raspy when accelerating a little?

 

I saw that video a while back

I think the exterior looks good, I havent warmed up to the interior. Thats the V6 version, will sound a little raspier than the V8 (outgoing S450 is the same way)

 

V8 sounds raspy?

 

No, the V8 is super quiet and refined.

 

The AMG V8s Ive heard sounded raspy but that was by design

 

Yeah that’s by design. The V8 in my S560 is the smoothest engine I’ve had in a car, very similar to the 1and3UZ.

 

 

they both look identically new to me. If I got asked I couldn’t pick out the new model.

 

^^^ Front end of old model looks better and *newer* to me ...

 

i prefer the old model too. on such a big car i prefer larger headlights
