I have some questions for you Jack.
- How does the new V8 perform?
- How did the S430 perform?
- Does the longer wheelbase of the W221 make it less agile than the W220? At least relatively less agile.

The S430 with 275HP had all the power I need and for me was a big improvement over the V6 E320 I had. Plenty of zip and again the 7G is the best. With over a 100 more HP, the S550 certainly is superior but I could not knock the 430's performance.
I really can't comment but the 221 handled very nicely. I am not a real good one to ask about agility since I don't drive too much in situations I could judge. C&D has a excellent review and highly recommended the Auto Body Control for the ultimate ride...so I included it in my order. The wheel base is only an inch or two different between the 220 and the new 221, so there may be some difference.
