Where are you getting your info about the S-class breaking $100k base?
"The US is getting the S550 in February, the S450 will follow and then the S600 in April 2006.
The price increase is 5% more than the W220."
The base S430 (LWB) starts at $78k. Add 5% to that and you are a far cry away from breaking $100k.
