News from my dealer!!!

Just talked to my sales manager. My car (S65) will most likely be arriving some time in Aug/Sept. The build date is supposed to be July. No pricing yet, but he said the car doesnt have many add-on options. He said the price should be about 20K more expensive than the W220 S65. Let the count down begins! Yipee!

Congrats! Let us know when you get more info. The next gen S65 will probably be my next car when my lease runs out.

Considering the price of the new S550 and also the preliminary numbers on the SL55, etc., did your dealer give you any reason why the W221 S65 would be $20k more ?

Congratulations on a gorgeous car ! (What color ?)

No. He didn't tell me why it is 20K more. He said that's what his "preliminary" info told him.

My first color choice is Designo Graphite. However, he said Designo colors usually take a few more months than normal colors. So, there is a high chance that I would just settle for an Iridium Silver. I really don't want to wait until the end of the year to get the car.

Will update you guys whenever I have the latest info.

I'm just guessing because there are few if any options on the W221 S65. I can't remember if the W220 had any options?
