I am sorry, it is hard to choose this over a Continental GT.

one funny point that my apprentice made. in the view of the driver, when looking down at the instrument cluster, the 2 dials look like big clown eyes while the bottom of the 2 point steering wheel looks like a huge clown smile.

exaggeration but you get the point...

Good point.

I have big respect for the car but the interior style is a huge turn off for me. I would not get this car just based on the interior style alone.

Just the steering wheel I'm not a fan of. Would much rather see a three point wheel instead

For me it's not only the steering wheel, but the whole dash and gauge cluster which I'm not a fan of. Since those are the areas you'll be staring at most and interacting with most, it's quite a dealbreaker if I personally was buying a car in this class.

I want one so bad!

Although I would be happy with just an S550 or even an S600.

I wonder if Lindsay Lohan is reading this thread. She's already wrecked two S65s and a Porsche.
