eamiller Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 My friend doing some on-road satellite radio testing dropped by my place over lunch with a camoed 07 Mercedes S-Class (imagine my surprise when I see them in a black taped up Mercedes).. All I can say is, this car is gadget central, if you can imagine it, it has it available. I was amazed, though, at the blatant BMW 7-series ripoffs in the car. Everything from the trunklid to the instrument panel, the nubby transmission shifter, and the i-drive like knob for the climate/radio/nav system. The coolest thing though was the LCD for the speedometer/info center. It's about time someone did that. The adaptive seats were super-spiff though.. The bolsters (all 4 of them) inflated based on the g-forces being encountered. It was pretty powerful too, but the LGT feels more visceral in it's acceleration. It still floats like an S-class, but at least you feel pretty in control. Sorry no pictures, I don't think my employer or Daimler Chrysler would appreciate it very much.

Of course they are going to rip off each other's ideas. Hope you don't get your friend in trouble spilling the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Imagine the press this site would get for exposing the '07 S-class. Although, I think you'd recieve the same fate as oprie-lightfoot. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
