Kinda Scary...the Benz trounces the STS in the legroom catagorey even thought the STS has a longer wheel base and a longer, overall, length...

 

[mackingu]

but the STS has more hip room for all you fat-arsed yanks. just kidding.

i'm 5'5" so leg room, or the lack thereof, has never been a problem with me

Well.. Laaah Dee Daah.... :blink:

I'm 6'3" with fairly broad shoulders, and room is definitely a necessity.
CTS is just too small for me. Hopefully STS will rectify that problem (As well as the interior). :lol:

Could it be that you inserted the incorect specs for the hip and leg room, maybe the hip size is the actual leg room and the leg room should be the hip room..Just mt 2 cents

DHS/DTS is already out. I don't think there are any plans for a V version. The Next V will be the Escalade - then the STS...
