S550 overview
Okay, so today I decided to stop over at Knauz on my way home (it was actually about 5 miles out of the way lol) and talk to a guy I know there about the S550, I ended up going out and playing with it and I have to say since i finally got a chance to play with everything I have my final decision on the car. The best car in the world did indeed get even better. Coman is extremely easy to use, anybody who complains is just lazy and must have the mental capacity of a 5 year old. Everything was so simple. I went out by myself and figured out everything. Changing the vehicle settings via the knob vs. the steering wheel on the W220 is so much better. Somebody mentioned that there is no button for the sunshade, but on the center consol there is a * button and you can program it to operate the sunshade. The sunshade itself is amazing. It no longer has two arms that push it up, instead tracks are built into the rear window pillars and it slides up from under a long door. There are buttons on each door panel in the rear seats to control it as well. I went inside and compared the quality to that of a 2006 S430 and just opening the door you could feel the difference in quality. Its truly an amazing car. I dont know what else to write but if anybody has any questions just ask.

I havent driven it, but I have ridden in it, and yes it is quick. Sound great too. Quiet but has a nice growl when pushed. I was thrusted into my seat and it wasnt even floored.
