Our new S500 is here!
I picked up my dad's new S500 last night and will have it for a week while I learn how to use it so I can teach my parents. Here are some pics, and some driving impressions will follow in a few hours when I get home from work...but I can say it's an incredible improvement over the previous generation.

Mercedes-Benz Next Generation S-Class Named S550
2007 S-Class Features All-New 5.5-liter V8 Engine, Advanced Technology
MONTVALE, N.J., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercedes-Benz today announced new
nomenclature for its flagship sedan. The model year 2007 S-Class will be
named the S550, replacing the S500. In the U.S. market, the new S-Class line
will be launched with an all-new 5.5-liter V8 engine delivering 382 horsepower
and 391 lb.-ft. of torque, the first of a new-generation V8 engine family
featuring four-valve-per-cylinder technology and variable valve timing. The
"S" designation had long been used to identify top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz
sedans and coupes, and the S-Class has embodied the brand's flagship role for
more than five decades.
The S-Class is a technological showcase that has pioneered significant
safety and comfort features for the entire auto industry, including the first
ABS anti-lock brakes, the first ESP stability control and the first PRE-SAFE
system. The new S-Class made its world debut at the Frankfurt auto show in
September 2005 and is set to arrive in the U.S. in February 2006. The
successor to a long line of premium luxury vehicles, the 2007 S-Class sedan
will debut with a significantly evolved design and a stronger presence.
Sharper angles and cleaner lines frame a sedan that gains about 1.7 inches of
length, almost an inch in width, and more than three inches in wheelbase over
its predecessor.

Beautiful! But I am curious about the tires. They look like snow tires, which I am sure they are not--in the UAE. What is the make and model of the tires please?

I am planning to move to DUBAI. I am still thinking about it. I can tell living in Dubai has its advantages for example you pay no income tax and cars pay sticker. I cant wait to move.
