| Re: CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 Wow, 6K less than the previous S500 for the Canadian market. If they had done that for the U.S. market they'd sell a lot more than they already are! M |

| Re: CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 Please can someone explain to me why this car is called the S550 and not S500 for the North American market? One thing I noticed is in one of the pictures there was an aerial on the boot lid, and I remember seeing that on spy pictures and everyone assumed it was testing equipment cause it looked weird! Sorry if this is old news but I'm a bit out of touch in the car world at the moment. What is it for?  |

| Re: CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 That extra antena is for the Satelite radio, but on production cars it will look like this:  a little bubble, not another antenna like the one on the roof. I guess MBUSA wanted to go with "550" to emphasis the change over the old S500 and keep the naming system truthful. I wonder if the E/CLS/CLK/R/ML will all change from 500 too 550 for the U.S. market when they get the new V8? Likely. M |
