Re: Mercedes-Benz S-Class Dominates Luxury Segment

Well, I think many Mercerces owners switched to alternatives after the last model let them down. Quality was one of the main issues of the W220, I mean, it looked nice but what good is it when it doesn't last as it should.

Anyway, I think the W221 takes many ques from the 7 (I'm sure all of you know that), for example, the 'strap-on boot', i-drive (aka kommand), gear leaver on the steering colum etc... But I have to give it to the S-Klasse, the leather they use is extremely NICE.... Sat in one when I was in Germany last year, prior to the launch of the model here.... But the inside feels somewhat smaller than the 7... comparing LWB to LWB...
