Unhappy
I'm surprised by poor acceleration #s of the new S600.

Car & Driver pitched it against the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It won there too.

Motor Trend always gets worse acceleration figures. Car and Driver usually gets better ones. What was the MT 0-60 for the S600?

Edit: 4.2 0-60 & 12.6@115 are Car and Driver's numbers, what are Motor Trend's?
