As a person who actually "shops" and BUYS these cars I'll tell you how I approach my decission (as other people I know do) .
If I am spending TOP dollar, I will go for each manufacturers top of the line car... I also compare that to what I can buy for a certain a,ount of $$, otherwise I would have to compare the s65 to the ARNAGE!.
So if my choices in the $180,000.00and $200,000.00 are the s65, the s600 and the Bentley flying spur, I go for the car that gives me the most luxury and performance..."bang for the buck".
Remember I will be driving this to business and social functions so optimum performance is not the deciding factor...good but not the determining factor.
I think Mercedes has some work to do with this new model before it settles itself into whatever it's going to end up being
I am extremely dissapointed as I waited a long time for this car , hoping it would be as unique as my old (1998 s500)

...Now I trully dont care much for any of these cars.
I'll probably buy one ...I have to.

maybe the bmw760 and wait for Mercedes to improve on this model (I am a mercedes fan

)
The Bentey is beautifull but NOT a daily driver which is why I only consider German cars.
