Anyone keeping their S when the new one hits?

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone was planning to keep their S Class when the new model hits the streets...

I am planning to hop over into an SL assuming I am still single.

Any thoughts?

You will be waiting a while bud.

Since it will not be out for over a year I am not even thinking about it. I am a second new model year buyer so I will keep mine till mid 2006 then get a 07 model.
All the bugs will be out and fixed. Good day

Will be forced to wait for a second year anyway,since MB never releases their AMG or 600 models in first.

As I remember lexusfan is keep trying to discriminate W220. He was saying something about bad experience with his relative's W220. But I believe it's in the blood of lower end car owners to try to spit some dirt whenever they can (on W220 in this case)...

JMHO

We're getting rid of my mom's car for the new one since she doesn't want to drive anything but an S-class. So we've put our name down for it, and are #1 for our dealer. We know the manager personally, so he's put us on it!

DAMN LUCKY! My b/f will get the new one, too. The 2001 S500 has been good, but it's time to say goodbye.

We are going to upgrade our 2004 S55 to a 2005 W220 S65 and then a W221 S65 when that is released. As someone said above, MB always release the top dogs a year or so after.
