Luxury vs Executive questions
Does anyone know the base price difference between an S580 Luxury and an S580 Executive model?
Has anyone heard if all that rear seat equipment and/or the 10 degree rear wheel steering system reduces the trunk space at all?

I don't know how any options affect trunk space.

Yeah, sort of what I thought, thanks. I REALLY would like the 10 degree rear steering, but if the trunk is impacted by expensive, rear seat do-dads that I will virtually NEVER use, I guess I'm going to have to pass on the Executive model. Why MBUSA found it necessary to put that marvelous steering in a package with all that rear seat stuff, is just beyond me. How disappointing.

It's been a while since I owned the W222 S Class - I had the rear reclining seats but not the "executive" seats which had the foot rest and the center console tray tables. A friend of mine had the "standard" S Class rear seats without the recline feature whatsoever. The trunk space was only minimally impacted.
If you get the fridge option then there's a very significant box in the trunk that would prevent large luggage from laying flat.
With regards to whether you'll use the back seat reclining seats - I say go for it. It's very comfortable and if you have a family - they'll always use it. If you are going to use the car just for yourself 99% of the time - then its really a matter of flip a coin.

As for trunk space, I run conventional tires and carry a compact spare in my trunk. I don’t want the space reduced by rear seat options that I will never use. Anyway, I’ve decided to go with the Luxury model. As much as I’d love to have the 10 degree rear axle steering, I’ll have to settle for the 4.5.

You are correct and I was mistaken. Good ol' MBUSA. You try to spend big bucks with them, but they insist on making you spend even more to get just what you want. I've lived without rear axle steering for my entire life. I'll live without it now.
