Too bad there were never available in the States.
If I liked the W140's type of style and routine upkeep, I may've considered one.
0-60 mph still takes 10 - 11 seconds, though. Not much quicker than the 3.5: When you're pulling all of that weight, performance suffers.
And it always puzzled me how the W140 S350 turbodiesel was claimed about as quick as the W126 with the same engine. Despite there being approximately a quarter-ton difference in weight.
