Yes, because in REAL LIFE when you need to brake HARD, you still have all the time to find and unplug your tracking device... give me a break!

It probably would have looked something like this:

Sad for you liberal state liver! Works fine down here in the south!

First, you tell me I should "get a horse and buggy" because they're reliable, and then I make you realize I own something much more complicated than you thought. So, you write another (asshole) response to me. I drive my RWD 220 because of similar reasons stated above. 4matic systems aren't considered by me, just as

There are adapter plates and conversion kits available. It's quite a common swap.

Well, what a dumbass you are. I'm sorry you don't understand what my username means.

Right, I can't really believe that this is still being debated. I mean, again, if I had the money I'd buy a Mulsanne in a heartbeat...but even Bentley uses lots of machinery while building the damn thing. Why? Because, just like you said..it's the only way to get the repeatable precision needed to build a reliable,

Don't listen to them. I've had hands-on experience with S-Classes for years. SIMPLE production statistics do prove robotic manufacturing to have greater precision and accuracy. Margin for human-error is removed significantly. This is the main reason why the most durable vehicles ever built are mainly assembled by

You're wrong. Not everyone. If I was buying one new I'd certainly look at the risk of buying a system which has more complications. The risk of wasting my time to get warranty work done is inflated significantly; to where I would only want an sDrive.

I will have to check that out. I just always have a sense of trepidation about hand-built things. Not that I totally wouldn't buy one of these if I was filthy rich.

That's not really true, although we don't have any data on the W222 anyway. However the W221 seems to be doing fine in the hands of people who take care of it.

Put together with more precision? That works.

There is one thing you have clearly missed: The vehicle exhibited at the show IS the COMPLETED production variant of the GT. It's NO concept; it's not a prototype either. What you saw WILL be going on sale next year.

Me as I tell the hundredth jabroni where his tire valves were. You live in the desert!
