A new W220?

I've recently been thinking about getting a new W220 to replace my '92 600SEL I saw a black S55 AMG yesterday and it was so nice! My only problem is I have no idea which one i'm going to choose. I have the money and I could afford the S55 brand new but i'm not sure I need all that power. It's either the S500, S55 or the S600. Any recommendations?

It seems that you have too much money and too little purpose. Once you determine what purpose you are trying to fulfill, the vehicle that best suits your needs will be clear.

Well if you want a sportier and faster S-class, get the S55. If you want the ultimate in luxury S class with tons of power, get the S600. If you just want a good all around S-class with decent power and good luxuries, get the S500.

Narrow down your wants a little more. I'd love to help you but right now, it's a toss up because I have no idea what you want specifically. If I were in your position I'd hold off a little longer to see what Maseriti is offering, if that doesn't suit you then go for a S600, of course if you want ride, LS430, W220 w/ ride? S500. S55 IMO is just for the AMG name, which is nothing wrong!
