Both look excellent and how Jason calls it a "timeless design". The facelift hasn't grown on me yet, maybe my next car decides if it will LOL. Happy driving! BTW hows the 4.6 compared to the 5.5?

I think you should have bought something different to replace the older one just to have something different instead of two of what is essentially the same. Are they both yours? One belong to a significant other or another family member or are they both your cars?

Yes I agree. Timeless. W221 is what rolling money looks like.

Nice score. Must see interior pics please. Maybe also some more side-by-side pics and rear shots next to one another (in that current stance)

Beats fighting over it with your wife I guess. It's like if you go to a restaurant, just because one of you orders lobster it doesn't mean the other one can't have lobster too. After all, lobsters are f'ing delicious. There's no such thing as too much lobster.

Eating too much lobster might be harmful for your health due to too much protein loading
Would I like to have two exact items ?
No, I wouldn't unless we are talking about girls but I must say one of our family friends had two Nissan Laurel Altima back one for the husband other for the wife .Those cars ,however, came with different colors black and white nontheless
I like Mike's post , his absence definitely being felt .I have not seen his posts for past a few days and wondered where he has been
Sorry OP for the rant and congrats , if these cars sing to you there is no problem , instead of buying one S65 you have now two W221 S Classes following your last pick up .
Sometimes, quantity over quality sometimes other way

I am still debating holding on to my 550 since I just got the 600. I never even have the urge to go outside and get in the 550 now, I go straight to the 600. Maybe I will sell it eventually because no point in it just sitting around.

Maybe the OP will use one as a weekday car and one as a weekend car?

I would never want two of the same cars lol at least get a different color. On another note the 13 looks great!

I wonder if you have tried to get into the 'wrong' car already ..like trying to get into the car not being able to open the door then thinking wtf..

I have this often when driving a car with UK registration ; getting in on the wrong side no pun intended , then realising someone did not steal my steering wheel, but its on the right side!!

Agreed. Having two white facelifted s-classes would be baller for multi-car road trips and what not.
