Thumbs up Thank God it's an S class

Just showing how safe an S class is, all 5 passengers were reported to escape any severe injuries. This happened in an Indonesian highway.

That's why we buy 'em. It isn't all prestige, luxury and comfort.

Mercedes E 220 CDI 2000
The second vehicle is a Skoda (Czech Republic brand property of VW), probably a Skoda Felicia or the bigger Octavia.

I guess Volkswagen won't be advertising the built-in crash safety of that vehicle any time soon, like they do with the curent Jetta advertising campaign...

I think so...

That Skoda could be an older modell, because the new ones have safety ratings equal to the VW's from they descend. The new Octavia has the same chassis and security devices as the new VW Jetta.

You can get S600 if you want in Indonesia, but expect to pay 200% taxes. My dad bought a CL500 for $200.000 (back in 2001), the prices in Indonesia is .
