I would say that for those who can't tell the difference between the S Coupe and a CLA or Renault, they should save a lot of money and buy those cars.
Mercedes is obviously betting a lot of people *will* see the difference.

I'm only human of course i am going to compare it to something. I went to the car show and was shocked that both rears resembled each other. Other than that they are obviously two different cars in different leagues.

It was only an observation...

I've found that it is very difficult to share your (potentially perceived as negative) observations in forums where the users are "passionate" about the product. There unfaltering allegiance to the brand often leaves them with myopic absolutes. The fallout generally stems from insecurities and should not taken with offense.

Not everyone here is so sensitive, my car was called a Boxster many times before and I didn't care....

Thanks for pics. They look excellent. My car is at the dealership - I have not seen it so for me pics are good until delivery.

Hope to take delivery on Monday. I'm kind of disappointed that car came in Friday morning and the dealership couldn't install the radar on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes I feel they like to keep the car over the weekend so that they can show it off. It was the same for my S63 sedan - came on Friday but was not ready until Monday.

It's Fort Worth and I live in the Plano / Frisco area. If it was closer I would be there bugging them.

S-Coupe is stunning period.

The red leather is not that bad in person. Not my style but it's not as loud as it appears.

Drove an Edition 1 S550 for about 30 minutes and tore it up, great car.

Exhaust note is delicious especially in "S" mode (opens the valve)...

Power is great, although it does not FEEL that much faster than my CLS550 (heavier, same engine, better tune).

The interior is out of this world, better than any Bentley / Rolls I've been in. Just A+ work for MB on the interiors these days.

Currently have a S550C on order (Iridium/Black), was thinking of going Palladium again but why do the same color.

To the guys asking why pay $30k more for two less doors or the guy comparing the car to a CLA - please share what you're smoking with the rest of us.

hyperion667, great pics. That interior looks awesome in person. No need to be scared of that red, it's exotic and fits the cars personality. People have to see it.

This is pretty cool also:

Thanks man, appreciate it!

I had one on order for matte white, but I'm glad this one popped up locally. I would have liked to get the black piano trim instead of walnut, but it's pretty awesome as is. And the seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat in, they did a pretty perfect job on this car.

rozO...Hey man, you're driving my car! That's exactly the one I want to order (I would wait for the black interior trim though).

Looks fantastic. You can drive the E350 in a pinch.
