Yea, me too. It will take some time to get used to I guess.

It seemed like they were too scared to test out Brake Assist Plus. I guess they didn't want a repeat of what happened on that German TV show. I just wanted to see if it really works.

Just got back from the track...tried everything he tried and never lost control...

I only have one regret...by getting the AMG stock car instead of waiting for the ordered one, I gave up the Distronic Plus feature. But I think the AMG kit and ABC make up for that loss...both of which I did not have on my original order.

Great review of a great car....

guys this video changed my mind on this car. FOr the longest time till about five minuets ago i was so against this car. But after seeing all those features i cant get over this car. I still woulnt take if over a audi but damn it really seems to have more stuff to it. Im still not one for the interior but it just has so many functions that somehow i just cant get over it. Wow i now see why many of you call this the class leader.

At least it was just an S280.

I'm still not too excited about the way the new S looks despite having seen a few on the road and almost crashing into one, but I have to say I'm pretty damn impressed about the features. I mean, Clarkson didn't even make fun about any of them. That must mean something.

I agree, on the old S class, he tried the voice recognition system and it didn't work, and he got really annoyed! Also he didn't say anything bad about MB build quality, like he did with the CL65 which was on the show!

Seemed a good review, this S is a masterpiece!
