In the August issue of Motor Trend the S600 beats the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Just got the issue today, be sure to check it out!

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?

Ah I see. Well, it doesn't matter who the competition is...The benz will always win.
