Something on 4 wheels..
Well, S65 has everything standard (depending on the MY - I'm referring to 08 and up), more hp and torque and the "finer" interior (soft full leather).

When looking at pre-owned, I don't see a reason NOT to go with the S65..

WRONG! S63 has Hybrid-engine and 550HP with 30mpg city and S65 is so exclusive that it runs on water and gets 700 HP.
