I haven't seen the W223 lease rates but expect that a BMW 750 will cost about half as much as the S580 per month, at least until the MF is further subvented once initial demand is fulfilled and showrooms are full again

2018 E63S,
I’m going to ditch my order. I had a w222 and a w213 E63S and sold them. I switch cars often and was drawn to the tech specs of the new S. The problem is I can’t get myself to love the way the new s class looks. I’m “ok” with the gigantic center screen but hate how the drivers instrument cluster is less well integrated than the new Tesla Plaid. Seems that the 3D options won’t be available at launch. That makes the S class only marginally better than the w223 from a feature perspective than the w222 (which most agree looks better). I also drove the new plaid this weekend. Blindingly fast - faster than my McLaren 720S but interior quality is “meh” and the exterior styling is extraordinarily outdated. I test drove an Audi RS7. It’s fast and rides nearly as smoothly as my W222. I think I’m going to try to find one of those. Same price point - better looking and fast.
