Umm, never thought about that. I know the AC stay on in hybrid because the compressor is electric. So the AC turn off on a S63 if the engine get turn off by the start/stop? Their AC compressor aren't electric? That can't be true.
Without knowing the facts, common sense tells me the AC compressor is electric as well in all cars with start/stop feature so the AC stay on when engine is off.
Many non-hybrid comes with electric AC compressor now a days.

Only full hybrids have electric A/C. You need a lot of battery to power something like A/C.
In most cars today with start/stop feature, engine simply does not turn off if you have A/C on, in others it turns off but then A/C doesnt work anymore.
And thats why in EPA cycles, there is absolutely no again with start/stop and why most manufacturers strip it out of NA models. On the other hand, Euro cycle is different, doesnt require A/C use and you get large gains during city cycle, which is not applicable to real life.

To me, the more complicated, more highend, more expensive...........the better

In my ideal dream world, everyone should embrace exotic highend complicated super expensive cars with open arm, just know what you are getting into and don't complain about the repair bills

A few weeks ago in the LS430 forum, a guy was complaining how his 02' LS430 UL with the air suspension is way less reliable then his 1990 Accord. LMFAO..................I tell him he should ride a bicycle if he want a machine that last forever and never break.
Is funny how some people expect everything for free. Please god, can I have a private Boeing 787 dreamliner with the same operating cost as my LS430?

MBWorld is definitely gonna be your most active. The E55/E63 and C63 forums are by far the most active. But the AMG forums there are pretty active in general and should be able to answer your questions.
