Here are some screen shots to give you an idea of the clarity of the display and variety of information provided. This COMAND control is easy to use and once you understand how the files are set up, it is efficient and fast.

That will be an absolute killer day for you and for us to see that "beast" for real. 600+ HP...unbelievable! Keep us advised.

Jack I will have to agree with you. Our cars look nearly identical in the option list and what have you. We have P2 as well.

I love the Nav system on this S class and if my mother can use it, anyone should be able to. Far more intuitive than MMI or iDrive and the ride and presence is commanding. Are you impressed with the overall fit and finish over the W220? I know my father is and he can't wait to get his S600 in a few weeks.

I am simply amazed at all the little creture comforts the car has and mostly I love both LCD's. They look better than my 24" widescreen Dell display at home or office. Overall I dont think any premium full size car will hold a candle to this new W221. By far the best automobile I have ever purchased.

So is the speedometer more of a "screen" than an illuminated setup?

More importantly no one has reported any problems with all this "stuff" on the new W221 model, that is so important. If Mercedes can get a "recommended" from Consumer Reports for first year reliability this S will go down as the car that really brought Mercedes back full circle. I'm stunned by how well this car is doing in terms of sales and so far trouble-free operation......lord I hope it stays that way. Dare I say all those months of spy photos showing all that testing paid off!!!

Neveda Jack, I don't know if I asked you this before, but have you ever worked as a photographer? Any troubles with your S???

Yes. As I understand it they are images projected on the screens, not a real speedometer and such.

I was a Chief Photo Mate in the Navy before I was commissioned a Photo Officer, so yes I was a photographer in my younger years.

No problems to this point...my sales rep said he delivered 30 S550's in March and has not had one call back on any problems. He said this is so different than the past couple of years with the older models. I think they did their homework well on the S as well as the R and ML.

Definitely impressed with fit and finish over the S430. The quality of the interior is a major upgrade over the S430. If this is not the top production luxury sedan out there, then I don't know what is or comes close. This car is so solid and responsive and provides a sense of complete satisfaction to the driver. I am more than pleased...I am estatic!

Hello NJ, is there an option to show different icons on the Navi display things like gas stations, resturants, and schools? I know that some Navs system will even show you the name of the gas station.

Nevada Jack

I really have not even checked out the POI menu yet. I do know that you can have TelAide download specific POI information in addtition to what is on the HD as standard. I'll play around with it this week and see what I can find out.

Again, you show beautiful pics! I'm quite impressed with the new S-Class thanks to your pics and info!

Maybe MB should not only hire you for pics but......sales as well!

Like I said I want to wait for the new Lexus to come out, but I don't think I will wait that long. The more and more I see the S550 I want it. I might even look at the S600.
