And I quote: "that is the prettiest..."

Today while out & about I was pulled along an outside lunch cafe when a mid-aged couple proclaimed my S550 "the prettiest car ever."

I have a lot of pride in my vehicle so I thanked them profusely then stood back & looked at it myself. It was parked behind a late Aston Martin & Corvette, and in front of a late eighties 560SL. It really did upstage the others. I have been told that out of all cars today that most consider the S-Class to be the most tasteful and admired. Well today a few more people placed their vote.

I've gotten that also..

last week parked in the grocery lot and jamming some Led Zep... mid-thirties guy just stopped and stared at the car until his wife dragged him away... my wife poked me in the ribs and said, "You guys and your cars.. bet you liked that huh?"..

damn straight I did

I catch myself looking at the car.. just something very elegant and sophisticated about the design..

This still holds true today. The w221 has a "timeless" design, that is going to age very well. The more futuristic cars get, the quicker they age. I'm a fan of slightly boxier cars, and these new designers need to be careful.
