Uummmmm, isn’t that what I said above?

2022 models are now appearing on dealer websites:

This doesn't always mean launch is imminent, but it's something.

Any of you added 4.5-degree rear-axle steering to your S500/S580?
How has it been so far?
Is it worth adding?
Thanks

It's hard to say. You don't notice it. My test drive was with the 10 degree, and the car I bought has 4.5 degree. I can make U-turns on my residential streets and it is easy to park in parking lots. I don't know how much more it helps because I didn't try one without it, but I would for sure get it again as it very easy to drive. Compared to the price of other options, this one is "reasonably" priced, so yes.

I think it is a no brainer option for this car. With a car this large, any assistance in decreasing the turning diameter is greatly appreciated. I found the car was a lot easy to maneuver during my test drive.

An absolute must in my book. Especially with this long wheel base model. If you’re ordering, and if it’s available, I’d get the 10 degree. I have the 4.5 degree because that is what a car that was already here had.

8% off MSRP. Where is this?
I can’t get any discounts around New York.

10 is not available for the AMG trims. I was wondering about maintenance going forwards, whether alignment is needed for the rear as well.

I have the 10 deg and it is amazing! Making hard left or right or U-turns is extremely tight. I think MB advertised turn radius similar to compact A class and its true.
