You tell us... You've owned and driven both machines. On paper the S is a little too big for me and the E seems more sporty and "tossable". On the other hand, the S is like a race-car limousine- just crazy- but good crazy. But I think in your gut you already know the answer so just tell us.

Id say thats a great choice if the S65 is the new body style! If I could afford it I would do the same.

Good move, the V12 is great and the Twin turbo's really are responsive. I was in an SL600 and honestly couldnt feel any turbo lag.

Just two (sleepless) nights and I will get the car from the dealer.

As soon as I have it, I will share pictures!


Oh, and yes it's the new body style!


And fully loaded, without a speedlimiter of course!


And thanks for the support!
