Got to take a 2011 S550 for the weekend it was a Prem 1 with multi countour, Paladium on Ash.

It was stunning to drive, getting a message while sitting in the a/c seat while its 82 out and running errands on christmas eve, was sure made more relaxing by this car.

The ride is some where between floating and soft like being on a water bed and feels like your gliding more then driving. Ive been in airplanes that rode worse!

I loved the big old boat as I call it and just wanted to say you have awesome cars in here. I hope to some day step up to one out of my little C class! If any one needs a car sitter in FL, Im your man

maybe because of colder weather in chicago and older model, but i do not find my 07 s550 to be floaty. Well, compare to c63 AMG, maybe. S500 was softer and "floatier" than the 550 adn even then it wasnt too bad.
when someone uses that term i cant help but think of old cady amd lincoln feel

But yes, the car is freakin awesome. the only thing better is S63 AMG
And the only thing better than that is S65

My next car will be a S550! I have a heavily modded E55 now which is lightening quick (see video in signature), but I think it's time to step up to an S-Calls and keep my E55 for weekend fun.

Just a beautiful, amazing car and I've always aspired to own one. I love the tan interior (my E55 has black leather inside) so that's what I'm going to start shooting for.

It's always been my dream to own an S-call and I'm almost there!
