2006 S65- I had to buy it!!!
New member here.
So I'm out test driving new Sedans in the 100k -120k range......s550 , 760, 750, M5,Schd RangeRvr etc.
I've owned the 220 s class before as well as a CL and I had no intention of going back......then I drove it. Oh MY ...The power!!!!
I know the body style is out of date now. But I couldnt stop thinking about the power.
I bought it. (yahooooo!)

Never noticed those before. Don't you just love finding out something new about a car after you've bought it.
Thanks

With power like that in your boat, must be quite a letdown getting in the S65.
I have been in a skater with 1075's and that was one white knuckle ride but I have no doubt that it's a *****cat compared to yours.

Congrats your S65 is awsome!!!! I am thinking about an 06 S65 also how does the exhaust sound and how fun is this car to drive, have you driven the 06 S55 if so how does it compare,
