Mercedes must wait to see where the Lexus LS460 is priced before introducing this car to the U.S. market. Now in Europe it is a different story, Lexus is nearly matterless there, but here in the U.S. this LS460 is going to be a big, very big event.

As we have "discussed" on some
other forums, there really is no need for MBUSA to bring out the S450 at this time. The S550 is still selling relatively briskly, albeit an anticipated, but slightly slower pace. The highly sought P3 option package is still unavailable and with the imminent arrival of the CL, MB
needs all of the P3's it can obtain. Until S550 sales fall off all S550 option buyers are placated, I thnik the S450 will not be a US product. Also, as you have mentioned, MB might be holding the S450 for a selling point against the for the new Lexus LS460.
