S550 makes Forbes worst car list??
#26
This summer my wife and I took the S Class on a road trip and spent a few days in downtown DC sightseeing. The hotel was crazy expensive with an offsite valet service and a very cool but gruff doorman. We joked back and forth over the few days we were there and he was a great guy.
The morning of checkout we're standing out front waiting for the car with several other guests. I'm wearing my best Sam's Club traveling outfit of shorts and a t-shirt, unshaven, looking like a shlub. There's some business a-hole in a suit giving the doorman a ration of crap because his car hasn't come fast enough. He yells "You *******g suck!" at the guy. The doorman, fed up, flips him off.
The suit goes inside and comes back with a manager. The manager wants the doorman to apologize. The doorman looks at us and the other guests like "help me out here." I step up and tell the manager the suit guy's a total tool and I'm surprised the doorman didn't punch him. The suit looks at the manager and gestures to me like "You're gonna believe this putz over me?"
Just then, with perfect timing, up rolls the suit's car...a Ford Focus, and right behind it, LED running lights blazing, looking like it would eat the Ford if it would just stand still for a second, is the S550, which I walk over to. The manager looks at the suit, looks back at me and the S, pats the doorman on the shoulder and says "We're good here", then goes back inside and leaves the guy in the Ford standing in the valet lane with his dick in his hand.
I hear that Focus got a great rating in Consumer Reports, by the way.

+W221 on the story
It's a pleasure to read his posts too . I guess that guy was only focused on the Ford Focus . I would not surprise to see he was driving a Prius either.
I don't care what these mags say . Robb Report also put W222 behind Maserati, Ferrari ,Aston

Nah. It had all kinds of bumper stickers on it. Maybe he stole it from a high school senior as a cover and his real car is a Bentley! Ten years from now, car values aside, the guy's still gonna be an a-hole. S550 FTW!
