Agree with you on point one about "poster being a troll." However I disagree with the rear end comment. Take a look at the rear of a S550 going away from you someday and you will see how really great it looks.

Compare to the w220 .. the w221 looks very nice. I like the flared fenders, and how they made the front agressive. Lets not even mention the interior because it is one of a kind. But for some reason, at least to me, the rear just dosen't 'add up'. I like how the white 'metal' (?) that goess across the rear tailight. That looks nice. But the boot, i just dont know... not really feeling it. just my worth less opinion lol...overall nevada jack you have a very nice car kudos on that.

Comparing a Ford Focus to a Flagship S class?....you are a clown who needs his mouth shut for him...

Thanks.
The rear end has it's faults I am sure and the AMG kit I think improves the look. But for the first time just the other day I was at a round-about and wating for the circle traffic to pass and enter, and a black S550 was the last car and I fell in line behind it and I tailgated him about 3 blocks. I said out loud to myself as I followed...damn, that is one good looking car. Now I do have a little bias (LOL) but I was impressed!

Style and taste are subjective. There's no point in trying to convince others to like or not like a design. But associating a dislike of the W221 with an inability to afford one is offensive. Baked Benz may not have put it diplomatically, but I agree with his observation.

But my first reaction was "damn, the Bangle-butt infection has made it to Sindelfingen!"

My response was to his empty statement "I don't like it at all" which refers to what? If he had taken the time to at least qualify his response with some likes or dislikes, fine. But his statement was totally meaningless. I, like you was not a fan of the S550 and I indicated what I liked and did not like. Once I sat in it and saw it up close I appreciated the quality and everything associated with it. As I said...this is a discussion forum and a response by him with some points would not have generated what was said.
I'll give you a year and you will be a fan of the "Bangle-butt infection..." S550...:-)
