S65 Omitted from 2008 MB Brochure Online
I noticed the S65 being omitted on the 2008 Mercedes S-Class brochure. It only features the S550, S600 and S63. Just wondering if they are planning on stopping production on the S65 or something. Any ideas?

MB is producing 65s on more of a by-appointment-only basis....
They prob realize 65s have dubious trade-in value; need to offer cheap $0 down, 2 yr leases to sell units in major mkts w/slightly more intelligent buyers; and savvy buyers know a high-tech, perhaps NA, likely lighter replacement motor is due within next 12 mos to replace this archaic-tech, heavy 65 motor.....
