Congrats. This is going to be one gorgeous car.
One quick question for you. With the Mocha Black exterior, is there any reason you chose the Titanium rather than the Satin Red?

Congrats, driving a hybrid car should be posing a different feeling . I have been reading positive feedback on S500 Plug In Hybrid as well.I only find a niggling issue and it's due to batteries your trunk space is reduced to 395 liters

Hi,
I'm hoping the trunk space won't cause too many issues.

BAD NEWS!
Picked up the car and within 30 miles it broke down. A big red battery came on the display, stating battery malfunction. No matter what I tried I couldn't get the car to move. After 45 min the red battery disappeared and it drove for another 20 miles before the same happened. Before it goes back tomorrow for repairs I'd like to post some pictures. What's the best way to post pictures?

Well, this has the European sport (AMG) package but I wasn't expecting that the steering wheel is part of it. The floor mats I believe are a n/c option. But the quilted leather on the center armrests is surprising. Is that standard on the semi aniline leather?

Everything you see in this car is the standard semi-aniline nappa leather package for the US as well, including the quilting on the front dash and center arm rests, the different quilting on the seats with the buttons, and the upgraded AMG floor mats.

Yes, as I mentioned, the steering wheel was changed mid-year MY2015 for all AMG S class models in Europe.

In Europe, like the US, the S class has an AMG sports package option for non-AMG cars and, those too get the new 3-spoke sport steering wheel. In this case, it was the 314 wheel which has the wood and leather.
If you look at his build sheet above, he has option 950 which is an AMG Sports Package, which is why he got the 3-spoke sport wheel.
