Yep, with the W140 they added some slimmer bumpers, dropped the ride height, altered the two-tone body panels, slimmed down the front lights and some other changes to make the car appear smaller since it was being knocked for its size/girth. Now the W140 is one of the few exceptions because I like the original "Panzer" models. Plus Mercedes started de-contenting them with the 1995 facelift. The original 1992-1994 models were built like like the best old-school Mercedes you could find. I also like the 1997-1999 models, though decontented they body was all one color by then.

Since I didnt name anyone then you can guess what I meant.
Marcus = master of defending his fellow partners

I don't care what other people do, thats their business. But I would never ever buy a S-class without AMG package. Leader or not.

Yea I saw an W140 black S600 a while ago. The car was amazing started off slow beside me then took off doing about 120mph down this Mountain in Maryland.

I'm still thinking about getting a 1999 "Big Body Benz" if I can find one in good condition. I guess in a few years we will be getting ready to see the next S-class...which has me a little scared since this one (W221) is already perfect. I guess the new one will be the W222?

The S-class looks good regardless of AMG package or not. Just like the 7 series...these big cars don't really need additional packaging. Yes, it makes them look more sporty...but their is nothing in this world like a S600 with the regular trim. It looks timeless with just the V12 and the 600 on it.

What website did you get these photos from and did they have more?

Why not go with the top models if you can. If your spending this kind of money the grill on the S65 and the wheels on the S600 can always be changed. These little details shouldn`t bother your wallet too much.

You know...I wonder how much it would cost to get that grill changed. I mean I love that they tried to make the S65 so exclusive, but I do like the regular grill a little better.


But to tell you the truth...I would have to get the S65 AMG over any Benz...matter fact over any car (Except for the Bentley Arnage Final Edition and the BUGATTI VEYRON *The best car every built*).

The S65 AMG is the absolute best that Mercedes-benz offers. There is not a car in Germany that can compete with the S65AMG. Now that the 760 out guns the S600...The S65 is the ultimate choice. The idea of a 612hp Sedan that weighs that much and moves like a ferrari brings tears to my eyes...The sedan is a breathtaking work of art that should be adored by everyone who is an automobile enthusiast....

It's MIND BLOWING how amazing that car is...I would give up my first born for that car.

Seriously the S600 is CRAAZZZYYY..

Thats fine long as long as the S-Class' leadership is in tact. The rest is matterless really.

Oh my word!!!! Where did you get these pictures from Artist?

This is the reason I came back!

Yep those pics are... insane.
The S65 is just out of this world.

It's so awesome it shouldn't even stay for sale!

^lol that made me laugh very hard..

PS

^yeah thats it

PS
Mercedes-Benz TV
There is a kick ass feature on the S ..just press and let the good times roll

Great post HighestOfHigh.. I don`t think it would cost too much. Heck if your a frend of the salesmen (and you bought the car off the lot) he just might change it for free!! The wheels too!!
A friend of mine gets to test-drive every new Mercedes, BMW, Rolls without question because he has connections. It`s if anyone is really buying one of these we need to learn to have some sort of connection with the sales people. You would be amazed how well that works out.






The is the best, most reliable, most powerful production 4-door car on the planet. Not sure if AMG is still going to kill the V12 seeing that the S65 still uses a modified MB engine. The next S65 (or what ever thay call it) better be just as good as this one. Great find Artist!

Anyone else notice how huge those rear roters are!!
That look bigger than the previous version

Yes, I was serious. I am not at all interested or impressed by the excessive and tacky wheel arches on the S Class. Much prefer the previous generation S Class is terms of side treatment. The interior design has never been to my taste with the excessive hump design and bland, almost boring centre console. Why is it that when I mention I don't like chrome on the S Class your rebuttal involves the previous generation 7 Series. This has nothing to do with the E66 7 Series. Chrome does not look good on luxury cars, excessive chrome that is, especially a car in the calibre of the S Class. Chrome should be left to American cars wanting to look luxurious and for people who dump their car on 22's and think they are top sh!t... Not to my liking at all.

Amazes me when ppl bitch about the chrome..its like this is the first MB they are seeing..

Chrome was always there

You forgot to add "I (in) M (my) O(opinion)". I'm sure the people getting this sedan will not allow the use of "Chrome" to stop them from purchasing the car in Europe or the United States.




SOOOO TRUE!

Absolutely Fantastic. Head to toe.
The Chrome makes the 600 more Regal IMO ... Just what the ACTUAL buyers need who were surveyed asked for.

Also has the best LED strip of them all.

And to think, this is merely the "sedan", the real fireworks are yet to come.....the COUPE.

Thats a nice blue color for the Hybrid.

Sure, the grille and wheels can be changed but I think I'd prefer the engine characteristics of the 6.2 V8 over those of the V12s.

I can`t disagree with you there. It`s newer with improved gasmilage and the added advantage of the G7-transmission.
