Thank you for the compliments, everybody.
Just picked up yesterday so didn't really have a chance to test the acceleration much yet, but it did feel powerful. Mercedes EPA figures says the V8 mileage is slightly below the V6, but I must have a heavy foot as my fuel gauge is almost a quarter lower from full yesterday.

Thanks, fila/drZ!
Decided to do aftermarket roof spoiler as someone told me spoiler would be white if ordered from Mercedes. Thought black would look better with panorama sunroof.
Car definitely has passing power in spades. Keeping car in Economy with ECO button as it's definitely a gas guzzler otherwise. Steering is light at low speed but overall, I like the feel and power.

vinbenzo: yes, whole family have mostly white cars (asian thing?). Mercedes leather doesn't feel as soft as Lexus leather, but I like the feel over MB-Tex. Not sure if it's related to the pores needed for the ventilated seats. I like the leather inserts in the door also.

Is it an Asian thing? Lol my family all drive black cars, 5 MBs and 2 acuras. 
. Your neighborhood looks like my sisters in Springfield, VA. I do go to Eden center everytime I visit her.
I will definitely get full leather for my next MB. The MB tex is nice but nothing compared to full leather.

Very nice and thanks for posting the pics. I pick up mine at the factory in October and was anxious to see what the porcelain interior looked like. I believe that the only difference between our cars is that I didn't opt for the big sunroof (too much overhead glass for here in Houston) and mine will be diamond silver. Do the spoilers have a function besides looks?

very nice. I'm looking at one in white/black interior. Where in NoVa? Your pics look like a familiar neighborhood but that ain't saying much because it's NoVa. LOL.
