Driving up route 1 this evening had an 2007 S-class drive right past me and after realizing floored it in my ML (lucky for him the SL was in the garage at home)...drove up next to him turns out to be a asian guy and his wife. I stayed with him for a while as he tried to lose me on the road...I saw that the number plates weren't normal ones and had something like "vehicle MRG" or somthin writen at the bottom of it instead of the usual "garden state"...and there was no mecerdes emblem on the trunk lid nor any "S500" or w/e model put on it and it had either verrrrrry dirty wheels or they were just black...my guess is its an engineer or a VP at mercedes testing out the car before the release. sorry guys i wasnt able to take a shot of it
The one question I have for all of you is, when the 2007 S-class comes out this december-january is it going to have the new engine hence --> S550 or will it still have the old V8 and be a good old S500
I know it will have the 5.5 4 valve per cylinder engine, but I believe they are keeping it as the S500 name, not a S550.
They kept the S500 name so that the tradition goes on, but not in USA.
Nope, I'm sorry but it was also changed to S550 in USA. There was a press release on this I'll have to look for it. I thought they would they keep the S500 name for that very reason, but they decided not to.
*edit* Wait, are you saying they are keeping the S500 name everywhere else but the States?
