There are newer forums, such as C63, R63 and W204. Is it because S-Class owners are elite? Or because of their fragile egos?

don't you like it when people say your car is "NEW"

iguess

why would it bother you that the W221 forum still says new?

I think the original poster has a chip on his own shoulder to say that 221 drivers have fragile egos....

Im no doctor but - i would diagnose the situation as follows:

He feels that because he has a 220 - all 221 drivers look down on him.

Dude, That is not the case with any mercedes driver. Its not about the model year - its about the passion we show towards the cars in general.

W221 is still the "new" S-class.

Not that hard to figure.

I'd look inward for "fragile."

For the historical record, when my light-hearted post appeared, the W221 had the new-forum icon attached to it, even though the thread was going on three years old. The mods very quickly removed it and made the C63 the "new" thread. They also changed the name of the thread to "New S-class (W221)," which is perfect. The W221 is the new S; the thread is three years old.

I was not commenting on the current state of affairs, which is the result of my suggesting an update was due. Thanks to the mods for their responsiveness. My tone was meant to be joking. Life is indeed too short.
