While it probably doesn't matter to most drivers I don't know that I could ever be happy with a W140 simply because of the small steering wheel. I like the old, large Mercedes steering wheels. I like being able to rest my elbows on the window sill and my other elbow on the arm rest and still hold the wheel. Couldn't do it in the S500 I test drove recently. But then to be honest they are probably out of my league in terms of maintenance costs anyway.
