Request for input or pics: S without rear-seat package

I'd appreciate any input on the appearance of an S without the rear seat package. It is only the appearance I'm concerned with; I know I don't care for the seat adjustability. Does the rear of an S without the rear-seat package look any different, other than the obvious lack of seat and climate controls?

I can only find cars that include the rear package nearby and the only photos I've found so far also show it with the rear-seat package.

Thanks!
Paul

not really

Not Really, I had an S550 and everyone including myself fell in love with the rear seats, for their comfort and roominess, Its just that they loved it even more now that I have the S600 just because of all the gadgets that they get to play with.

Thanks NevadaJack and Xecution!

Thanks for the input, Xecution. And Nevada Jack, fantastic pics as usual-- I was hoping you might be one of the guys to respond to my request

This helps me feel better about 'settling' for a stripped down S63. I was about to pull the trigger on a maxed out Designo Graphite 550 when my salesperson mentioned that he had an April build S63 become available.

Cheers,
Paul
