It varies from country to country

in the European market?

Traditional grill+AMG pack is still the best combination.

Which of these wheel designs do you guys think looks best on the Maybach?

Tough one; two of my favorites. The S65 wheels cost an arm and a leg as an option & are tough to keep clean, so I choose dish (or plate) wheels.

I don't quite understand why photographers insist on Photoshop "slamming" cars as if they've been robbed of their wheels.

I just can’t get my head around how many s-classes there are rolling around central London. It’s by far and away the default luxury choice. I’ve seen only a handful of 7’s and not a single A8. And the Sclass just looks marvelous in this setting. Mercedes nailed the W222.

Surprising how many new e-classes there are as well. Again very few 5’s and not a single A6 that I have seen. Sure It lacks the s-classes gravitas but it looks effortlessly elegant with the single crease that extends front to rear.

Seems like central London is MB territory.

Indeed; everytime I think NYC is overflowing with S-Classes, I visit London and I am corrected. Paris is not far behind. You can't quite grasp the S' market dominance until you visit these cities.

In NYC, the S has been limousine king ever since Lincoln made the grave mistake of not replacing the Town Car. I usually only see the competition in numbers when I leave the city.

The locals aren't always so hospitable

 

[Star&Car]

I love the latter one,they look majestic in real life.not feeling the mutiple spoke one at all.

The second suits the Maybach best. Imo Mercedes-Benz should keep the S65 wheels bespoke for the S65.

Second ones, wihout a doubt

I might be one of the few to like the first ones better.
Spices the body design with a touch more flair.
Seconds ones are too formal imo.

The doors still functioned, that is Mercedes-Benz lol. You really need an Volvo 240D for these type of incidents.

Second one by far. I almost ordered the Maybach with those wheels. Look at this video, it convinced me that this is the most beautiful wheels.

Wow, you was about to buy a Maybach S?!, lucky guy, but I guess you're not too far behind with an S560 anyways, it's got all the luxury anyone could hope for..

So have you took delivery of your new prized S Class or are waiting?

 

[Carfan]

Long time lurker here, from the start of the w222 threads. I gave in to the desire to have an S-class today and signed the contract. I love the car, but did not like the facelift at first, especially the AMG pack, and the new steering wheel. But it grew on me, and now i love it, and think it is better than the prefacelift. Still love the original.

I was considering a lot of options, from 350d to Maybach. We have a lot of tax on cars in my country, so it was difficult to decide what was "sensible". In the end i gave up and considered only what i wanted myself, and my dream car has always been the S500. So i ordered the S560.

Build is here: Mercedes-Benz Car Configurator



It took a long time to make this build, because several choices are dependant on others, and exclude some. They don't sell many S-classes in my country or city, so dealers often have little experience with this car.

The most difficult thing was the exclusive seats, neither me or my dealer could figure out how to combine it with the AMG exterior styling. It always turned on the AMG plus, with AMG seat, wich i dont hate, but i dont love them either. Turned out i had to select the Multifunction sport nappa steering wheel. Then i could get the interior i wanted. I liked the AMG performance steering wheel also, but i cannot get it with my build, then the AMG seats are back.

I would love feedback and suggestions. I sill have some time to make changes. Production in February.

I also have some issues with 4matic, that will be changed to a car with Magic Body Control. I live in Norway, and because it snows sometimes, and it could be a little snow on the last 5 meters on the road to the cabin, all S-class cars are sold as 4matic here.

People don't really need 4matic, but good winter tires made for special made for Scandinavia is a must in winter, some skill in winter driving also helps.

The dealer and HQ are very helpful and are getting country approval for the car with Magic Body Control for me. It will take some time, but they will get it done(i hope).

I am still waiting, just signed the contract. I am very excited.

I'm still not convinced by the non-amg-line exterior. As a matter of fact, the amg-line exterior doesn't convince me either.

I love the AMG Exterior. I chose this exterior:

But i do not like the AMG plus exterior, i hate it. If i could get the AMG seats with exclusive seats i would do that, but it is only available on the S63. So i chose the exclusive interior. My Spec:

S63 AMG with amg seats and exclusive seats:

I don't see that much difference between AMG line and AMG line plus exterior; just bigger wheels, partly painted in black. To me, the facelift AMG line is too bulky, not as elegant as a S Klasse should be, imo.
