Correct, no Nav in the first production run. The all new DVD based Comand is coming and we hear it can be installed aftermarket by dealer.

Is it the right car for your wife? How would we know? We don't know your wife's driving criteria or how much space she needs inside or in the trunk, etc.

Actually moves with some semblance of authority when the accelerator is depressed. Has NAV. Can talk and the phone without having to raise her voice. Tote around around two small children, and occassionally three in air conditioned comfort. Enough trunk space for two dead bodies. And look good doing it.

According to Edmunds the Nav system will play DVD's while the car is in park. Has anyone confirmed this??? Next question is how do you trick out the 'in park' thing.....you know, so the kids can watch.

That's funny!

Don't get her the S-Class - she could use it to run you over after any improper decisions like mistress at a hotel.

Not that what actually happened to that guy was funny........but the whole fact that they make such a big deal out of the fact that she was driving a Mercedes like they are somehow better suited to the task of dispatching a wayward spouse is pretty amusing.

I only buy them cause they are safe
