New Car dilema

Im in a pickle I love my S550 but im itching for a new car. Ive had this car for a while now. Not really a fan of the 223 back end but love the interior. If you guys had to switch where would you go? Just looking for ideas.

I’d go with a loaded up 2020 S class. Maybe an AMG.

A 2020 63 is definitely on the radar.

Good choice. Are you a fan of 2 door coupes ? Have spotted some really nice ones available but are expensive.

@Sactownmb has a point, do you need the sedan because if not, a coupe would be the way to go, there are still some good prices out there, the AMG models can get a little crazy in price though. For sedan's though I would say an '18 or newer Panamera, Audi RS7's have a look to them, or maybe step up to a '18 or newer E63s? You will not even thing about how the rear looks with all that power.

I would love the coupe but I take long trips in the S class with my elderly parents and those back seats wont cut it. I previously had a BMW 650 and my mother complained. Ive been looking at the 4S all day but will add the RS7 to the list. Before the S class I was considering the RS5 sportback and really liked it.

I had an S550 for several years and got bored with it as well. Looked at everything and came back to the S Class. I did opt for an S63 though and it has been phenomenal. All the luxury of an S560 with a very sporty side when needed.
