W221 - When?

is there any data (or any conjecture, in the absence of data) about the timing of the W221?

will the last W220s leave the assembly line in july 2004 or july 2005? or are they possibly going to do something funky with the new model release timing?

presumably the first AMG tuned version will trail the product release by a year or so?

does anybody know whether they'll ship 4MATIC cars a priori, or whether they'll delay that a model year like they did with the new E class (a dumb move, imo).

I think its going to come out in later 2005 as a 2006 model- so the last w220s will be 2005's. I think i read that somewhere, but it makes sense b/c they just did a faceleft and will probably keep for 3 years rather than just ending the models in 2004.

The latest reports are that the new S Class will go on sale around July 2006 in the US and will be a 2007 model.
