[QUOTE=3WD;5739565][CENTER]Hello Members, let us be the first to introduce to you the all new BRABUS Mercedes S-Class W222.
I live in Newport Beach, CA. Brabus used to have a showroom here, but they left a few years ago. I still see a few of their "creations" around town, but, thankfully, fewer all the time. I have to say that there is NOTHING that looks worse than one of these "tuner" cars that has been all "dressed" up, once it is a year or two old. And, once the new model MB comes out, you might as well drive your Brabussed up MB over a cliff, because NOBODY and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOBODY will buy your mega buck modified lead sled, because these cars are for THE moment. They are hot for about 15 minutes and then everyone thinks the driver just has bad taste. IMHO, driving one of these things is like taking a call girl to your high school reunion. Everyone looks, a few geeks drool and then all the men are just SOOOOO glad to be going home with their wives. Buy a S65 if you must spend the big bucks, but leave the tuner mods to the folks in sand land.

They moved but still have a showroom nearby. When I was there they had a bulletproof g63 limo.

[QUOTE=BluetecKING;6409128]Really? A G63 limo? Sounds like something that rich kids would take to their senior prom.. Or, as my 3 year old granddaughter would say: Hello! Awkward!

[QUOTE=Streamliner;6409135]Probably right. They also had a pre-production '98 ml, but this is the location 1711 McGaw Avenue, Irvine, CA.

Glad to see they didn't stamp a huge logo on the grill. It's cool on other Mercedes-Benz models, but it doesn't look right on the S class sedan.
