Can Someone truly hate an S-Class?
Yeah.. I'm curious who in this world cud truly hate the S-Class? I'm a BMW fan too... but there's times when I have negative points with the new 7... But the S-Class? How can people ever say it's not a nice car? I'd truly call it a Zero defect car... as long as u dont have the 400CDI lol...

Flaw #1 - boring 16 inch wheels are not inspiring.
Flaw #2 - No twin/quad chrome exhaust tips.
Flaw #3 - needs Sportier Alloy type pedals.

Well, first 2 flaws can be fixed by going for the S55 or the S600. Its not really a "flaw".. just a fringe benefit for spending more money..
The normal styling w/o sports kit is very bland.. but that is sooo mercedes heh.
The flaws I see with the S class is not specific to the S class. The COMAND is weak, but functional. Another flaw, again, not specific to the S class, is the increased use of plastics in the interior.. which of course, can be alleviated by going for the S600.
There is no real specific weakness to the S class. The same negative points in the S class exist through the whole mercedes lineup.

I agree there are flaws but in mercedes most of them like wheels ... plastics etc. Can be covered by spending more but then think of other competetors who have flaws with their design which really wud have to be the same... unless you plan to demolish the rear part and make a new one which I truly think for my new 7 series which im dying to get when its out the '760Li' but then I do wish to change the rear and the layout of the A/C controls ... but then those no matter what I spend I just cant change right? My point is compare to other cars the S-Class makes so much of a perfect package with just a bit of tweaking here and there... for that we always have BRABUS right at the corner...

The new 7-Series comes standard with 19 inch wheels I believe and sportier pedals, not sure about the exhaust tips. Owners of the 7-Series will be less likely to desire aftermarket wheels.

So when is $80,000 considered "cheap"? Add in another $25,000 i've wasted on my car and you're into 6 figure territory. More than you'll ever see in a lifetime and I spent that in one year. And i'm STILL living comfortably. Jealous now? Don't hate me because I live the lifestyle that you only dream about.
Oh wait, you work at mcdonald's earning the BIG BUCKS at $6.25 an hour, my bad homie.
So yea, keep on sagging your jeans real low, flashing off your BAD *** nikes, and wearing the NEWEST Sean Jean shirt and keep pretending you're someone even remotely important in this huge world. Because hey, you're white and you watch MTV, so you HAVE to be *******g cool, yo. If Eminem can be famous, YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE ALSO!!@!!@!@!@@

Who ever told you I had cable? hahahahahahaha With 3 kids unfortunatly no time to watch programs you mentioned on or off cable so I don't have it there you have it stu pid. Who is "Eminem" your tuner? If so than resolve the problem of the ride that as you put it "sucks" with him. If you asked me and not this Eminem---I'd tell you get the engine with your car, stu pid instead of dressing up this poor s430 like a christmas tree.
Next time put "decent engine" at the top of your priorities when you buy a car-what is the point of driving a car with a performance of a Buick for $80k? Buy yourself a brain while you are at it as well.
Hopfully you have medical coverage otherwise God help ya and good luck psycho
