You Yanks are not that lucky!

! You Yanks are not that lucky!There is no S Class sold in the US with "upholstery." The standard interior is leather and if you have the Premier Leather (which I do) you have Nappa leather on the seating surfaces instead of the standard leather. Tecnically the interior is Sahara Beige/Cashmere.
I don't know where you get your info but you had better recheck your source.

Check NJ's website and I believe his window sticker is on there and you might have a look to see what his colors are. Then again, maybe it's not anymore (after checking!)
Peace.
Out.

Give a guy a break, he's sporting around in a rad ride.

He could have just pointed this out instead of taking a wisea** posting attitude. We all make mistakes like spelling Savannah with an "h" when the correct spelling is Savanna...(check his post.)

Someone bought an American Launch S500 car in Designo Graphite Green with the wait for it, Sahara Beige leather which shocked me as that is not a color available on the American market! Pictures were posted.So there!

isaacu - just like in real life, not this virtual world in here, you have to gain some credibility before you start expressing your opinion and expect to get some respect in return. Waltzing in here with some 3 or 4 posts under your belt and correcting somebody else's post is not cool.
That was my point. I could really care less about what color his interior properly named from the factory. Savanna, Sahara, Supra, Sucka, whateva!
I'll trump you're "so there" with a "so there" of my own. You say somebody bought an S500 American Launch Designo...we ain't got no S500 here boy, we jus' got's S 550 here in the good ole US of A. Say that in your best Texas accent.
Nanny nanny boo boo.

03 SL 500 Launch Edition, 98 ML 320 (sold), 01 S 500 (sold), 03 CLK 55 (sold)
Just an overview:
I would take my 2006 S Class over that garbage Lexus despite its "technological" bonuses. Don't get me wrong, the new lexuses have a very nice interior especiallly the new IS ( I just bought a black one ), and I would take an IS over a C class, but no way a LS over a S Class. I think they should just change the meaning of S Class, to "Superior Class" because that is what it is no matter the year. I still love my SEC and it is over 20 years old! Also, I have been to Russia, and know Russians here, and I can tell you, Russians CARE about brand names, even worse than Americans. If they can afford it they will buy it! Who wouldn't!?!

I always thought of a Lexus LS more of a competitor to the E-Class, since it was introduced to the American market in, I believe, model year 1990.
No LS can compare to an S-Class of any age. Ever see how the car holds up after 250K miles? They are falling apart. Unlike the S, of which chassis is built to run a few trips to the moon and back.
Nobody is going to take mine away until the maggots start tearing the flesh off my disease ridden festering corpse.
I may not have a 221 S-Class, but I know of the endearing qualities of owning an S-Class: Mercedes true original flagship model.
