This all makes me wonder about what happened to the 400 and 300 series of the S class???? Did they (MB) decide that these were just not good sellers here in the states? Or will they introduce these at the end of the W221 lifecycle to stimulate final sales of these fine cars, kind of like when they threw the S350 at the end of the W220 cycle??

You study and research Hyundais???? Now I'm laughing


Lo and behold, I found something with some actual research. It looks like they do sell those crappy v6's

Does anybody know if there is an AMG style rear spoiler for the S-class (221)? I called my local dealer but denies any AMG spoiler for the S-class. thanks

When I purchased my s550 in February they had another one on the floor with a spoiler that I liked. I asked the salesmen to add it on mine. I'm not sure where he got it but if you like it I'll shoot him an email and find out.

The pic of my car is on this thread, 2nd page:

Beautiful, love the Mystic White. Nice looking house in the background too and I like the paver driveway, we were thinking of putting those in.

yah you can basically get any options for the S550...
wheels are coming soon, just stopped by Status to check out some black HRE wheels...also the Status plates are much better looking than the dealers plates...other exterior mods will include smoked tailights, rear spoiler, lower links, flat hood badge

Could you take a picture of the front brakes? I am curious to see how the 2 piece rotors and the AMG calipers look on a non AMG car.
