It's crazy with my car, when I bought it certified 3 months ago they told me they replaced the wipers before they sold me the car and the wipers were fine, no problems. I brought the car into
another Benz dealer because it was closer for the 40K service and they said they replaced the wipers as part of the prepaid mainainence, now they chatter. Also, I told them don't tough the tires because I'd probably replace the fronts soon anyhow, they went ahead and rotated and balance all four wheels, now the cars vibrates a little bit, it was smooth as silk when I bought the car.

I take this article with grain of salt ,sorry . Unless Mercedes-Benz dealers try to sell last years cars as that unsold items I don't see any point of overproduced . Go check around the dealers to see which model you will come across more any regular S Class or W222 S63 AMG / W222 S65 AMG

The phrase was poorly used in the article. The guys didn't refer to production volume of the AMG models. I rather read it as the AMG's being unnecessarily being over the top for a luxury sedan and that the S560 hit the spot for him. For him more was less...

The author didn't get it that of course the AMG models are over the top. That's the whole point. Start with with a great great luxury sedan and then boost it Stream disagrees but driving an AMG isn't about speed either; the S65 isn't particularly fast. A tuned S560 will easily outrun a stock S65 but it is just wicked fun pushing the old V12 = endless torque
