Yeah I have been exuberant since the time I brought the car home and I'm loving it

Pristine...congrats on the new car...enjoy a few miles on my behalf.
I'll look to MAYBE get a W221 in 2008 or so...I'm still in love with my W220 at this point.

Nevada Jack - since you are so eager to see the interior pics, I went down and took some for you. The first one was taken from my office window

Whenever I need to take a break I walk up to take a view and it gets me all relaxed 
No, I didn't get the massage option. I basically got P1 option which includes premium ventilated leather and Sirius radio.
While I'm at it, here's the picture of what the key looks like...

That's great! Look forward to seeing you in the new S550.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I've decided to keep the 00 S500 and sell my S320. The S500 is too good of a car compared to what it's current market value is.

98 Ford Explorer Limited, 2007 S550 LE
Launch Edition in DC Metro Area
I just left the American Service Center in Arlington and got a glimpse of the Launch Edition. It is absolutely gorgeous. I was considering giving up my spot for the Launch Edition and customizing my own S550 to my exact specifications. I was a little concerned with not having the active ventilated seats, automatic trunk closer, and the distronic plus. But after seeing the LE I maybe able to let those omissions go, in order to have the car in the next couple of weeks and have a limited edition.

I like to keep it low profile...this car seeks attention nevertheless.

Yeah, the LE is a beauty. Too bad it doesn't come pre-loaded with all the options, otherwise it would have been a perfect package.
Post some pics when you get it

I made a post about this car in early January because I really like the overall proportions and stance of it (especially in silver, which seems to flow better than white on this vehicle). I am so anxious to measure one of these to figure out if those fender flares are going to yield some serious lip sizes (ie, 3.5" front 5" rear with bbk clearance, yadda yadda)
I also like the C-Pillar / rear door / rear fender contour line, its very graceful.
Overall I think this car has a slightly jarring appearance on the net and in magazines but in person its not nearly as inflammatory as the e65/66 was when introduced. You sort of instantly get used to it and start to like it. I especially say this because I have only seen them bone stock, I can imagine lowered with a tasteful set of wheels.
Great color choice, great car overall and thanks for sharing. Enjoy
