it's the king of sedans =)
the dealer called us up telling us somebody has just canceled an order on their S55. they said the car would be at the dealership in 2 weeks and if we were interested we could put a deposit down for it. we did but we wanted to change the options. the car was already ready to ship but some how they managed to re-do the car and change the option. i recall them saying it had the cell phone option installled, which i didn't want. i wanted parktronic and distronic instead, so after changing the options, the call got pushed back a few months. the dealership kept on pushing the delivery date back saying the change in options caused it. after 3 months of wait time, the car came in and we paid $5k.
The car is the beast! it drives very smooth and refined. the power is just endless. i took it for a drive to visit my gf over the weekend, the car had 102 miles. the manual had said do not exceed 85mph in the first 1000 miles, however, that was not followed =) on the first merge onto the freeway, the car just accerlerated without exceeding 3k rpms every. it is just so powerful and the power is so refine. it just accelerates and accelerates at any speed. the feel and speed is no comparison to the ML55 ///AMG. i was passing this person on the inside lane, i was going 65mph. i gave it some gas, rpms didnt' exceed 3k and before i know if, i was going 95mph. yikes. i'm going to have to be careful not to get a speeding ticket in that car. handling is amazing with the active body control. i ended up averaging 22.4mpg which is impressive for a 5.5liter superchanged engine.
hope you enjoy your S55, it's the best out there.
