Just not aboard the SUV train. Ever.

I rather have a car vs a SUV or a truck.

I think it's impressive especially for the V6 and such a heavy car S class is so nice. We don't really need electric cows and other pasture animals are actually doing more damage with their gases than a lot of these engines are these engines are running cleaner than ever I'll keep the sound of the V6 over some electric appliance

And with only 1 turbo u r right pretty impressive

@@Ludeboi420 it's an inline 6

I’m blown away by all the numbers. Including the fuel economy. I want to lease one but wasn’t sure the I6 would be enough juice. I was proven wrong by motorweek today! Love it!

It's alot faster than your heap.

I 0

How did you get a chance

@@tientrinh943 I have a friend that works for Mercedes and had one as a company car.

Too bad no v12

yeah I agree. That hideous tablet in the dash is a major turn off for me

It's one more step towards "EVs"... the globalist commie solution to the common man having their toys.

I don't disagree with that, but they are always looking to take steps forward in terms of performance and safety above appearance. The thing still rides like a dream, but purchasing this in the 3.0 doesn't interest me a bit. Frankly I wish they wouldn't even make an S class in a 6 cylinder; it's not a real S class.

Agree

@@dsauce223 it doesn’t ride as good as my airplane at 10,000 feet and 180MPH that appreciates in value every day LMAO

Don't forget the A8L. Excellent ride and handling.

Truth! Many of the 2.0 engines today don’t get nearly as good mileage as they should!!

Actually, large sedans can return good mpg. Low profile, no tow capacity concerns, cutting edge tech

Whats the diff bro,it costs more than a 100 grand

what tech is better?

I agree, the last gen interior especially was so classy and tasteful. This interior is really a disappointment considering it is just an imitation of Tesla, which is not a real luxury car. Mercedes has always been the one to set the trends other companies wanted to imitate so to see things go the other way is disheartening.

I agree i do not care about nanny tech everyone else is koo koo about it not me the old one had more than enough tech for me plus i like driving myself.

The new look i would call cheap and boring but i have impeccable taste lol just kidding.

Interior

Me too 😍

I’m good. It will start to have electrical issues in 3 years

@@rahimi4762 such an overused/ untrue statement! Shit did u see how much of a lemon the all new 2022 Honda civic is 😩 have seen many videos on how bad it is

@@Carfan678 The reason Americans think European cars are unreliable is because most American mechanics can't properly maintain them, so they are often neglected. You don't have these issues in Europe- specifically Germany, Austria or the Czech Republic- where the majority of vehicles you see are Mercedes, Audi, VW or Skoda...

Agreed: sedan over SUV any and every day. But this one is not a looker.

I agree the last ones look much classier and expensive even my old 2007 looks much better.

That’s the problem right there. These are only good to lease. Never buy one

😂

I don’t think ANYone buys it…

Right

If i own a mercedes out of warranty, i will only maintain engine and transmission only, so it drive correct. I will not maintain anything else, especially electric glitches, because it cost too much money.

Nothing beats the big 6.2 AMG , I've seen some running from the cops .

Winter tyres

@@burninggas7715 interesting

that did throw me off a bit

winter tires?

What alternative do you have if you want a new car? This is the future and will only increase. Accept it.

@@waverunner7063 Audi A8 or Bmw 7. Kia K9 or similar. i will not use my money to pay for their mistakes.

Hate to say it but I agree with you. We bought a 2020 loaded Subaru Outback in fall of ‘19 and that was the first year they put in a HUGE touch screen right in the middle of the dash between the driver & passenger and we HATED it. You HAD TO take your eyes off the road to use it and it seemed like so many of the functions took two buttons to complete and there were no tactile button back-ups. The standard 4 cylinder CVT was loud and ssssslooooow and the voice recognition was utterly worthless. Got rid of it in Nov. of last year and replaced it with a top-of-the-line Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy model (one step below a Genesis) and we truly love it. Turbo 4 cylinder, no ridiculous giant touch screen and so much better in so many ways.

Yeah the big tablet was a shame, but I understand why they did it. Too many functions that wouldn't fit on a normal center console. Rear seat are perfect. Bodystyling is great. Rear is still growing on me.

Hell i like my old 2007 S class 550 4 Matic better than this one.

You are correct. I’m leasing mine. The V8. Never purchase a Mercedes.

AND 27mpg!!!

In 5 years, the twin turbocharged engine and 9 speed auto will have run out too!

I would never touch this after 5 years

Mercedes designers have lost their way. The car is ugly from every angle.

Time was other makes copied Mercedes styling. The tables have turned since this S Class looks like a Genesis styling concept from 2010.

@@bobherrmann1510 Great Point!

@@markchiz64 Agree i like my 2007 better simple elagant with just enough tech for me.

The old one looked alot better outside and inside.

You are 100 percent correct sir!!! I love my 2007 s550 but i do like the next gen interior this new one looks cheap and the interior with the ipads stuck on dash look like a after thought.

I said the exact same thing…until I drove one. I fell in love with it, and now I have one.

Except the older one which looks 10 times better inside and out lol.

I agree but people in general have bad taste. It is amazing these days how few people have good taste and intelligence.

But the Lexus RX has been the best selling luxury vehicle

@@JDMSwervo2001 respectfully, I said Mercedes was 'a' luxury leader not necessarily a sales leader in every category. Even though of course Lexus is more reliable it's simply Mercedes has been around longer, has a deeper history, and their model range is different.

@@JDMSwervo2001 sir, I have been thinking 🤔 more about what you said and have to acknowledge Lexus became a best seller because of technology and hybrid helped that along. While not the first, Lexus spent time developing it for efficiency and of course many of the Europeans are using it for a power boost. You're right. I have to acknowledge that.

That's why we love MotorWeek lolz

Yeah, or a Etron GT. The Etron GT has top quality fit and finish, while Tesla has the fit and finish of a Lada...

My neighbor has one. When I first saw it, I thought it was an E Class. Not sure how they make such a BIG car, look so small.

@@johndaniels651 The germans hide their car sizes very well through careful styling.

snow tires

Omg!
