I still wish I had an S Class.

Again, it's the same adolescent/high school game. "I gotta have the same clothes as _______". The trick you describe has more a flavor of growing up than trickery. Indeed, the more I read, the more I see that the progressive platform in many areas is more juvenile than mature. Once again Churchill is right on, in many levels.

I wouldn't mind having a newer S class either, except I don't want to pay for it and it better ride nicer than my SDL, which rides pretty damn good despite it's need for new shocks. In short, I don't want it because X has it, I want it because I like to be pampered...
