Thanks for the posts. . a first month update. No major issues to report - in every way the new S65 is the best Mercedes Sedan produced! Many superlatives - already mentioned. A few niggles: the parking sensors seem slow to actuate; the trunk is very tight for golf clubs. On the positive surprises - the HUD is a terrific add.

I am not a big fan of the wheels - the US standard (think they are 796) are fabulous. Many people just stop to comment on the wheels!

I was dreaming about my ultimate desire on wheel and thought of configure my choice. Then noticed an exclusive change in interior, new three spoke steering wheel from S coupe. Any news on the same.

^ Seems the new steering wheel became available for 2015?

In Europe this new 3 spoke steering wheel comes with the option AMG Line (950). Standard leather, wood-leather as an option. The non AMG Line packaged S Klasse still do have the 2 sproke steering wheel. Till modelyear 2014 rhe AMG Line didn't have the new 3 spoke AMG Sport wheel.

The S65 AMG has a Nappa leather AMG sports steering wheel, the S 600 long a multifunction steering wheel in wood-leather version.

Wolfgang, you are absolutely correct. I again went through S-class configurator; new S600 have 3-spoke steering with wood & S65 have it in nappa leather.

S600 interior pic from mercedes-benz.co.uk site:

Where as in mercedes-benz.de, initially as default this interior came with 2-spoke wheels...

but when I changed the leather & trim option I got this, 3 spoke wheels but with out wood.

I've not seen the S65 special wheel in person, in photo I've liked it. But I do have seen this wheel on S63 once; and I do like most of the AMG wheels.

Yes, this was from the South African media drive day. I'll be getting a S65 to review soon so I'll definitely be posting up thoughts, a review and images

Gorgeous interior!

Just watch out for those pristine floor mats!

 

[JLamg]

There is a bit of a floor mat story. In the pictures - you see the mats originally delivered in the car. They are very light grey - and don't match the carpets. We (including our dealer) thinks that someone in Germany thought the contrast was like the contrast in the leather - NOT! They were replaced with mats that match the carpet - and look much better! And yes they are very, very light - good thing they are in Miami!

Thanks . . have been driving it about a month! It is an incredible automobile - pictures can't do it justice! We ordered more than 6 months ago and tried to do a color combination that "toned down" some of the "glitz" of the chrome and had a unique interior. Very similar to the MB Detroit Auto Show S600 combination - and MB was gracious in building with the one interior package it had available at the time.
