Question S55 AMG w/ 4matic?

I was wondering if anyone knows if the S55 will come with a 4matic option for MY2003. Also does anyone have experience driving the S55 or anyother S-Class with the soprts package in snow? I am in Michigan, where it is still snowing at this moment, and I would like to be safe as well as be in style. If anyone has any information on this, I would appriciate it. Thanks!

I THINK the only S-class models with 4MATIC next year are the 430 and the 500. Anybody? Anybody?

You cannot get the Sport Package AND 4-Matic, it's one or the either, not both. 4-Matic will never be an option for any AMG vehicle.

Actually, euro-spec E55s (read UK) come with 4-matic and even in estate guise. One day locally maybe...

Wink Well never say never!

the new 03 C-class has sport and 4matic on it. So you wont be able to get the S55 BUT the 500 sport I think so. Here are a cople of links. C-class 4matic sport S-class 4matic Sport (almost all the way down, white car in the snow)

I pretty sure the S600 for 2003 will have the 4-matic option on.
