How about a 460 with a couple of Victoria's Secret models in the back seat.

 

those would be BIG upgrade..
i actually see an upper-option S class as an "upgrade"
not S550.. but S600, S55,S65, S63? etc

 

how much was that option?

 

The option's not too bad, it's the maintenance costs that kill you.

 

At least that option includes 2 extra airbags.

 

The Flying spur would be an upgrade. An AMG S class would also be an upgrade. I could have got either of those, and still chose the LS. The LS is just so plush and combined with the reliability, it's almost a no-brainer.

 

I think the LS is the top notch sedan. Rolls, etc. don't compare simply because their technology is not even close. Anything that you'll get with a higher price is nothing but that - "car with a higher price".
