well I have gone ahead and ordered my 2010 S550. Blk/blk. sports and p2 pkg.

bvlaw

What are your plans for your current 550? Trade in?

RajwanyS550

yes trade in.

bvlaw

Hopefully you're not taking a bath on the trade- I'd be scared to death to see what my 08 is worth with all the discounts available on leftover 09s. In any event, congratulations on the vehicle and enjoy it!

RajwanyS550

getting 70 for my car.
thanks
will post pics once I get it

Chucky300

That sounds very fair, no?

QuadBenz

70? WOW.
That's not bad at all. How many miles do you have?

RajwanyS550

only 8300. since mine's a P3 it helps. not too many out there mostly P2.
drove the 2010 and loved. the Muffler sounds much better, more sporty. steering more responsive. better navigation and audio controls, including ipod.
will post pros and cons once I get it. I am not getting the nite vision since I have one now and its practically useless.
anything to be on the lookout for on a 2010?

RajwanyS550

I think its pretty fair.

Chucky300

I didn't know they changed the steering? Do you mean the muffle sounds more sporty? What was changed about the Nav and Audio?

Thanks for the info!

Kudos to you Rajwany! Best of luck with the new car!

QuadBenz

Don't recall the exact terms but they did change the steering system a little bit. Not sure about the exhaust. The nav is just updated with more features like birds eye (available for pre-FL models) and also has HD radio IIRC. Not sure what else is different.
Rajwany, do you know if the 2010's voice control system allows users to say the whole name of the street instead of having to spell it? I had a C350 loaner that had navi and it was much easier saying rather than spelling.

AustinGuy

Wow! Didn't think you'd actually go through with it.

So what possessed you to trade up to the 2010?

Don't tell me you went to Ewing again

RajwanyS550

its called direct steering. much precise and less free play. the nav has better close ups. street names r visible even when u zoom out. to me the resolution looked better too. audio u can now see all the playlist for ipod on the command, instead of the small screen on the speedo. much easier to control..it also plays louder now. maybe they raised the speaker output levels a bit.
the muffler makes a little more noise, more like the S63.

RajwanyS550

yes good ol' ewingauto. they treat me real well. this will be my 5th benz from them.

RajwanyS550

thanks

RajwanyS550

yes forgot to mention it, u can say the name instead of spelling it. much better, spelling felt kinda dumb.

RajwanyS550

cars already in. hopefully will pick up tomorrow.

QuadBenz

That was quick. Don't forget to take tons of pics!

RajwanyS550

I will Guys. thanks

RajwanyS550

quick write up. this car is amazing totally new creature. very diff from my 2008 the surround sound is amazing. I can proudly compare it to Lexus Mark levinson. hd radio totally rocks. great bass and treble responce. the headrest is so plush. u can now have sports trans setting with comfort suspension settings. also has a 8 gig built in music register. the ipod display on command is great. steering is very responsive. the muffler makes a great sound.
the 3D nav graphic is fab. ofcourse the LEDs R superb.
lots os other neat little stuffs. its raining today so could not post pics. getting tinted on thurs., will post pics then.
overall I love this car. glad I traded.

QuadBenz
