The finest car in the world...
If you have not seen this... Just got back from a UK visit where I picked up the Top Gear Test Drive Directory magazine... A very nice capsule 5 out of 5 stars review of the S-Class...
"Why is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class so good? The interior, the seats, the space, the astonishing quietness at speed, the performance, the ride, the electronic controls, the hi-fi, and a whole lot else besides. This is without doubt, the finest car in the world..."

Hadn't seen that review; thx for posting, cjf....
Rather true conclusion....
Also recently traveled to London/NYC/Chicago for a quick series of mtgs....reminded me again that few places on planet (aside from LA) have SF region's combination of weather/roads/topography/car-oriented infrastruc/fast fwys.....such that one can actually enjoy driving one's S/CL 365d/yr for both mundane daily commuting and pleasure driving....
....w/none of hassles of winter tires/wheels; need to suffer a winter S550 4Matic for 5mos/yr; lack of spacious parking or car nut-oriented pkg garages for convenient daily use....and some of world's cheapest MSRPs/most efficient car lease strucs.....will still complain about US' poor pavement conditions and those silly speed lims, but life here is indeed rather pleasurable for a car nut to daily-drive/enjoy cars like S600/65 or CL63/65....
