 | (Sedan , Mercedes-Benz, 2007, 5 Seats, 5.5L - 12 Cylinders)
The ninth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class is more than a simple luxury upgrade. Its Brake Assist Plus system uses long- and short-range radar to anticipate and avoid collisions™or, at the very least, lessen the severity of a crash™by automatically braking with full force if you don't stomp on the brake hard enough to stop in time. More impressive is the Night View Assist, which shines infrared beams down the road to illuminate hazards that are beyond the reach of the headlights. A special camera on the rearview mirror reads the infrared and shows you a crisp, clear image of what's coming on an eight-inch LCD screen in the instrument panel. | | | |

New Mercedes-Benz S550: once again the undisputed top of the heap?
by mkaresh , Sat Feb 18 20:33:41 EST 2006
Pros: Features, performance, handles like a smaller sedan, ride quality, exquisite workmanship
Cons: Complicated controls, overly trendy exterior, somewhat artless interior
Review: Back in the early 1980s the "big Mercedes" was widely acknowledged to be the best sedan available. A Rolls was more expensive, and had a finer interior, but was technologically antiquated. Few took the BMW 7-Series seriously; that company was mostly... read full review
The bottom line: The performance and feature list of the new big Benz thoroughly impress. If only it were nicer to look at. | | | | | Author's rating: |  | | Reliability: |  | | Seat Comfort: | | | Roominess: | | | Build Quality | |

Pros: Spectacular Driver Experience, Fast, Powerful, Quiet ride,buttons everywhere
Cons: Button placement, High price tag will sway many potential buyers. Some design issues
Review: How much luxury does a driver need? In my opinion after driving a Chrysler 300C, a 745li, an Audi A8 and owning an Escalade, I would have to say that the major features I would look for in a Luxury vehicle are comfortable, luxurious leather seats;... read full review
The bottom line: The S550 is more refined than any other sub-$100,000 luxury car. Its not as sporty as the 750Li.
Its more of a cross between a limo and a yacht. | | | | | Author's rating: | | | Reliability: |  | | Seat Comfort: | | | Roominess: | | | Build Quality | |

Pros: Performance, features, gadgets, popularity, you will be noticed, crash test ratings, luxury, space, expensive features

Review: Since I like cars and rent/borrow some, my friend who just happened to be renting a light brown 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 for a week let me use it for a day with him. I have gone on the highway with this baby, and I did not hear any sounds or... read full review
The bottom line: The S550 makes you feel like you are a great driver, because of the performance, comfort, ride, features, ride position, looks and safety. | | | |
