Re: New SWB S-Class

HOW LAME!!!
And people wonder why Mercedes profits are shrinking. UGH...

Let's see if we can't get people to buy an S-class with a cheapo engine... which costs the same as an E500 or CLS500... and has less horsepower than an E or CLS!!!!

Really Merecedes... get a clue.

I actually like this idea however. Sure you could get an E500 for the same price, but you could step up to the most prestigious Mercedes-Benz with more room...

It's got that "prestige factor" to a higher degree...

It hardly has more room it is the Short Wheel Base version. It is about the same amount of room as the E.
