If I had a choice ..... there would be no choice

Sorry, but the new LS600hL is the better looking car. I'm starting to come around to the design but the LS is still better.

Here's some eye candy for everyone to enjoy. These are pics I found around the net...special thanks to mbworld and Derrick at D2. IMO, the new S550 looks great with the AMG Sport package and awseome when it's lowered with nice staggered 22's. This is coming from a 3 time Lexus owner. I'm also looking forward to the new LS and what the aftermarket will have in store. I'm sure the new LS will look like a beast as well.

The New S does look alot different modded. Sadly I don't think anything can fix the retro toggle switch interior.

I see nothing special about the new MB S Class. Every design aspect on the car has been done before. It doesn't give us anything new.

All these customized S class's already but I have yet to see the new S outside of the Internet. I'd swear they weren't on sale yet.

Hey guys I know I said today I would have pics but Mike isn't in the office so maybe tomorrow. By the way I drove it the day he picked it up and I must say it left me speechless. I'm probably not up on cars like most of you are. I have driven a GS430 of course the old S 500, S600, and 2006 LS430, drove that while making my dieecsion. Well what I'm trying to get at is the S550 was unreal. My boy Mike said STEP O IT!! I was going from 20-100 in no time with no jerk or feel of shifting. That thing is like a F$%^#%G plane!!!!!!! I will always be a Lexus guy mostly because the S550 is so out of my price range with having a 06GS430, 05GX470, and 06SC430. I will have to say Lexus better make that new LS the BOMB DIGGITY
