More impressed and wow'd than I felt the first day I picked her up. For those of you on the fence about the hype on this car......get off of that fence. This car exceeds the hype. Build her right and you will have the biggest luxury to buck bang that exists in the auto world. I used to have interest in a couple of much higher priced hand build exotics......not anymore. Unbelievable the step up from the 221......feels like the 222 came from a different company....

What a great testimonial! That says it all. I was very impressed with the car wen I drove it in Europe. As you have said before, it just makes you smile looking at it in the garage. Of course, I'm impatiently waiting for it again so that clouds my judgement.

Kratos, your post is music to my ears. Now I miss my car even more. In Seattle this week.

I agree with Kratos. I have had my car for three weeks now and I can't wait to get in it every day. I am fortunate to own three other nice cars but right now the S550 has won me over.

Clembo, did you participate on the Edmunds forums (especially the Luxury Forum or the Stock Market and Investing) some time ago? I seem to recall your name from there? I also see that you mention MA as one of your residences and we may have had conversations about the Red Sox and Patriots on one of those forums. Or it may have been on the Club Lexus forum.

Bean - I remember being active on the Edmunds forum years ago, I have not really been there in a while. And yes, I woke up this morning west of Boston with snow on my lawn.
