2008 S600 changes?

Am I correct in noticing the interior has been upgraded on the 08 s600's? Has anything else changed? I am thinking of making that change. I just bought my wife a gl550 and we love it. I drive an H2, viper, and E class. I want to sell the H2 and Viper and buy the s600.

dgt1031,

go for it! The 600 is one of the greatest cars EVER made. A lot of people say this S class is the best S Class EVER. And thats a pretty high statement to make, as mercedes benz puts nothing but quality out each time its flagship is re-done. You will never ever regret trading those two ugly american made cars, for the super model from Germany.

Enjoy in great health!

Sell the H2 and the E. Keep the Viper. With an S600 and Viper willl will have two torque monsters to enjoy. I have an 07 so not sure what the 08 upgrades are other than a few interior cosmetic.

'08 got the chrome strip in the lower bumper. '07 had it color coded.



'08 has different exhaust tips.



'08 has piped leather on the seats, doors, and headliner, and V12 badges in the seat backs.












'08 no longer has the headlight washer button. Activates on the 10th pull of the windshield washer stalk I believe.

I'm not sure what else the differences are as far as cosmetic differences are concerned.

Was it the new Park Assist (how is it called), on the main IC display. AUX input on all models, automatic child seat recognition standard, and was the front light washer knob removed (made automatic from windshield wiper).
