If I had the money I'd buy an S550 and slip it right next to my SDL, it would surely be a nice garage.

Plus they seem to be reliable, all the guys over at MBworld with them are reporting zero issues so far. I guess MB got it right this time.
You can't automatically assume that a car as new as the 221 is reliable. It was just released a few months ago, not much longer before that in other parts of the world.

Didn't hear about the faults of the 211 until quite some time after they debuted.

You should be a salesman for the Mercedes-Benz new car dealer. I respectfully disagree with your viewpoint. I have the opportunity to compare these cars back to back every week. Although our opinions are subjective.
