Elusive S550 finally here!

I got a call from our dealer on Monday to let us know our car would be ready for delivery in the evening.
What a beautiful machine. Very smooth ride, and very quiet. All options are in working order, and so far "interesting", but a bit distracting.
Having only driven the car for 120 km., I will need to drive it a bit further before I can offer anything constructive.
First impressions: OUTSTANDING vehicle!
Pictures to follow, when the weather warms up a bit. ( -18 Celcius this morning!)

S550 Pewter/Black. ABC. Premium Package. Distronic Plus with Park Assist. Night View Assist. Drive-Dynamic Multicontour Front Seats. TPM System. Rear View Camera.

Why didn't you get the 4matic? Seems like a more reasonable choice in Alberta, especially this year with all the snow. Maybe you just couldn't wait? I actually saw a few 4matics in Edmonton around Christmas, but I guess they were not custom ordered.

Good luck with the car.

At least for us, the ride is more important. Until we got our previous car, which was a 4Matic, we had at least a dozen cars, all rear wheel drives, and never got stuck. We are just reverting!
If there is too much snow, out comes the truck.

Working on it. How do you get rid of the 04S430 and replace it with something else?
