I don't like the US edition 1

LETO

Agreed. The wheels on the US edition are lame

I hate the US edition 1.

It doesn't even have the Exclusive Nappa leather. My dealer still has one available which is not spoken for. I told him yesterday, no thank you.

I can't wait for this beast to get here!

Kratos-TM

If you don't mind me asking, how'd you get the 4% discount?

Spent some time yesterday in a w222 at a small auto display in my office complex (world financial center in NYC).

Overall, I was very impressed by the car. Outside appearance was no surprise, but it looked sharp and distinctively elegant. Wheels sucked, but they were base model wheels and well, they always suck.

Interior was spacious as expected, and the stitched mbtex on the dash/door panels is certainly better than the plastics that abounded on the 221. The design of the interior is really nice, and although the double screens still looks out of place, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Overall, a very nice luxury sedan. Will spend some time today with the head of the North East region distribution for MB so maybe he can give me some extra perspective.

One thing I disliked was the purple lighting and this car did not have the smell atomizer thingie in the glovebox.

Overall, I think I could see owning one in a few years once the bugs are worked out and the prices drop a bit, but I wasn't so bowled over that I needed to immediately replace the trusty w220.

I would love to get 4 grand off. Chances are slim, but that doesn't mean I won't try, LOL.

ugh, a little bit of an embarrassing video. so much puffery and an ugly pocket square to boot.

The interior lighting is still terrible. Can you turn that off entirely? anybody know?

Yes. There's a video on YouTube that was posted a while ago (in fact, in this very thread) that had a very detailed overview of the interior and all the different functions in COMAND and the main dash. You can choose multiple dimming options, including an option to turn off the lights completely.

That's been the case with the interior ambient lighting for a while now.

You can now build the S-class, on MB USA!!!

Regarding the smell atomizer, do you know whether you need to keep the vial full? Was thinking of using it just for the extra air purification but prefer not to add a smell.

Best explanation of Magic Body Control.

LovinMercedes

I can't believe someone actually thought this was OK. This can't be an actual add.

Quadcammer
