Hoping to get the 2014-2016 S Class this year, Amen.

Whether the S500, S550, S600, S63 AMG or S65 AMG, anyone can serve.

Totally agree... you drive an SLS AMG GT and you don't want to drive anything else. I currently use a 92 300 SL as my evening and weekend Driver and even though that car is 26 years old, its performance and level of technology amazes me.

don't know about that though. Was only trying to correct someone who said there never was
Yes, there was. Not only in the ML but even to the E class and C class .

It was an attempt to maintain cleaner emission system. However the draw back was loss of HP.

So it was discontinued to the old system.

Also Mercedes has discontinued the product of V6 engines. Starting from 2017 in favour of I6.

As the company was forced to compromise in 1997 when she made the first V6 engines. Only BMW never made a V6 till date.

11. All mercedes-Benz cars has back aisle.
12. Did you know that Mercedes-Benz cars uses more than one plug each piston or cylinder?

In the C series,only a C240 has 6 cylinders and 12 plugs and maybe a 320,the 230 compressors and 280 are just 6 plugs.

No sir, I'm not married. smiley

The W140 is my favourite Benz. The first time I read about it was in 1997, after Princess Diana's death (that was the car she had the accident in). I have so many videos of the W140. It's such a safe car. And the features... DAMN!

Is yours a V8 or a V12?

Morning madam..
I like your passion for mercedes.I am part of a group, trying to organize a benz convention in abuja (for mercedes owners) hopefully february this year.Currently,there is a chat group towards the actualization of the convention.

I've already told myself this-I MUST own that W140 S Class Benz '96 model popularly called 'The Beast' or 'Concorde' by some Igbos.Either the Saloon or Convertible,but i must own it.The E-Class remains my all time favourite but that S-Benz sets me on fire everytime.

It is not an accounting term, it is more of Marketing.

We have a lot of business that their brand sells for them and they hardly do any major advertising, E.g Ferrari, Benz and co.

Hey guy STFU! It's called GOOD WILL in accounting. If you don't something just keep mute instead of ridiculing yourself in public!

one is S320 I6, and the other is S500 V8. I had always loved the Beast right from my secondary school days in '93 when my intro tech teacher talked about it in one of our classes then. He was describing the car as though it was his life. I fell in love instantly, and swore I must get the car and I did.

The last time I drove a toyota 'camry and corolla' (my apologies to any one who drives one) the car was just vibrating like a tomato grinding machine. NOTE: the cars were all new, just that the dampers were not like that of a benz.
I stopped driving after just a minute and asked the owner if the car had problem since the drive was not smooth and he said no, that the car is very smooth. I just shook my head and laughed and told him that if he ever drives a benz he will throw all this cars away.

W140 drives smooth as a plane even at 160km/hr

When my Honda reaches 120km, the car will start vibrating, as if it's about to fall apart. Na fear dey make me slow down. Benz is SO balanced!

Ur correct.

Mechanic told me that some even use up to 3 plugs to drive a piston but on the same coil, wow!.

This great idea will let no room for fuel escapes making it less fuel consumption as their will be complete combustion which will boost the efficiency.

UltraLeslie:
Why the older model? Doesn't deliver most Mercedes trademark of today which is a striking balance of speed, comfort and agility

Maybe it's just me, but it looks more prestigious and more rugged than the newer models.

At the bold statement, I beg to differ. In terms of comfort, it may not be as luxurious and comfortable as the newer models, but it is rugged. For a car of that size, the W140 is fast!
