And I have to say that it's dreadfully expensive. Base price of 142, 000 Euros ($168,610) and with every option one could find useful its a boastful 172, 000 Euros ($204,328).
Isn't that quite a price increase over the last generation S-Class?

Damn! I know that was near the price of the W220 S65s! The W220 S600 are around 130 new, but will probably significantly go down due to the release of the new model right?

To me it seems about right, but then again I could care less about the cost of the S600 as its for my dad and well, for the things he has done for me to get to where I am, its the least I can do.

Sure does look like one hell of a car though.

USA price is $139.900 with ALL options included. The only available item will be 19" rims. Also, AMG package is not available on the USA S600.

^^^ I would agree with him. You can't just take the Euros and convert them
into dollars. the cars in the US are actually cheaper than in germany.

I was waiting on someone to say this. Why not just wait until the price for the specific market is given instead of panicing. No way a S-Class is going to be 200K USD, not even the S65 AMG will cost that much (180K).
