the 62 does look huge!

I've seen the 57 once myself and it didn't look that big to me, that 5" makes a big difference

The specs for the two cars shows there is a 17.7" difference between their lenghts. The 57 @ 225.5 and the 62 @ 242.7"
A huge difference... Sitting in the back seat is like being in your living room.

The length is in meters hence a 50 centimeter difference between the two.

Guess that's about as good-looking an extremely huge car can get.

But, seriously, come on MB, put some some better rims on it for the $350k price tag.

That would be 500 millimeters. 50 centimeters = 0.5 meters. Hello and welcome to the metric system.

its funny how all the people that see the car in person say good things about it, and people like u course it out. think back on how many MB cars peolpe coursed out when seeing the pics, and loved it after seeing it in person.
