Question 1999 W220?

Hello friends,

I am confused, as usual. This forum topic says W220 1999-Present. I thought that the 91-99 were the W140, and that the W220 began in MY 2000 - what gives?

Thanks,
M

One's build years and the other is US model years. The first 220s were sold here as 2000 models but were built in 1999.

I just noticed that there is an overlap between W126 and W140 for MY 1991. I supposed these same explanations apply there too. Thanks again to whooever and Kar don.
