S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (Z223)

I think that I get this. However, isn't that a bit complicated in the context of attracting the precise scrutiny of tax authorities ? We are talking about a very large, very expensive and very luxuriously appointed vehicle as an "asset" that may be construed as being "far too lavish".

Maybe things are a bit different in Switzerland than in Germany.

It’s an S-Class after all.

I don’t know how they do it in Germany, but in Switzerland it’s exactly as I described it.

95% are leased that way according to my dealer.

It’s an S-Class after all.

Here in Germany, what is under the hood influences the equation. Sometimes very considerably.

But not only that. The interpretation by tax authorities as to whether a vehicle is a " justified, appropriate asset" or an "inappropriately lavish asset" can play a significant role.

Though it was a “wife” movie, I was awestruck back in the day when the original movie had one of the first of countless film scenes with the W221 in early 2006. The silver is a nice homage for car nerds to the Iridium Silver W221 with pano roof (which was a novelty then) used in the original film. The W221 owned the segment in the US from the 06-09’ period - a marvel upon debut.

I like the blackened out lower intakes, which makes the Maybach emblems not so noticeable and the darkened chrome on the grill and rear trim looks fantastic.

Iridium silver is indeed a color they should add.

Hightech silver is no substitute tbh.

They need to bring back Brilliant Silver. The color of my beloved CLK430 Cabrio.
