Cool Check out this S class video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fba8QN0dUi8


The beginning is awsome! No dictator would drive in anything less. Even Hitler had a bunch.

Clarkson again.

Great at the beginning, 97% of all governments own an S class. Could be true, but I don't the USA is one of them!!!

Neat watching the dictators in them.

97% because they figured out that they're robust enough to outrun their citizens wielding RPG-7's

Thats an awesome video!
Has anyone driven a 2003+ S600 and a 2003+ S55?I noticed that the numbers were different,obvisouly,but is there a noticeable difference when driving the S55 compared to the S600?
Also,on ebay,most of the S55's dont even have rear-heated seats?Is the button hidden or something?I would never pay 110,000+ for a car that doesnt even have those options

I love the part when the W140 does a spin at like 50mph. Impressive for a two ton sedan.

Unfortunitly the US gov uses crappy Caddy's. Athough if I were prez that would be the first thing to go. Come on the only way to pull up the the UN is in a LWB S.

But 97% is probably everyone but us, and GB. GB uses Rolls and Jags of course.

I remember when I used to live in Africa as a kid,when my dad would drive us on the highway in the '65 220S everybody would honk and give us compliments because it was the car that all the famous people would use.
If I were president,I would ride around in a 560SEL, a 1999 S600 or a W111 fintail.

Nah if I were president I'd ride around in one of these:


Armour plated of course, probably about $700k-$900k sitting in front of the White House.

Lucky MB makes a car for when an S600 just falls short.

Or a 600 Pullman of course, the Pullman is just so elegant that its always in style.

A 1995 E300 Spec.Edition would be awesome,black on black of course.You have to have some diesels in your stable,and a G55 Grand Edition with the flags on the fender.
How could I forget about the legendary Maybach,did you catch that special edition Maybach on ebay that was the ugliest color combo ive ever seen.It was a dark blue/black with white on the bottom.

Maybach is a custom car so like anything peoples tastes can be suspect.

G's of course would make up a nice escort, three in back, three in front, with another Maybach as a decoy. Oh yeah just like a Russian mob boss.

To the right of that cool video is another cool video of the S600... stupidly fast car... look how fast it gets up to 155 mph/250 kmh... doesnt even look like its remotely ready to stop accelerating either.
