Will rwd be optional on the 2005 S class?

Why is it standard?
Isn't the S430 4matic a model instead of an option?

Also, just out of curiousity, have you been banned from the W220 forum? Shouldn't this be posted in that forum, considering we do have a forum that is meant for this? Not trying to be rude, just an observation.

I would expect places like MN, MA, MI, NY, PA, RI, MD, and other states on the East Coast and probably in Canada, to have a lot of them around, but not so much in CA, not even in NorCal.

Here in the burbs of chicago where the roads arent all plowed the best depending on the area, ive noticed most 430 and 500 models are 4matic, now that it is no charge i expect there will be an even bigger increase in them.
