Black is very common for the S here. You might be mistaken for a car service sometimes

.
I like other colors on the S, especially white. Jack's color is just perfect

Distronic Plus, Break Assist Plus and Pre-Safe were just featured on the Science Channel's "Beyond Tomorrow" (episode 16). However, they tested them in an E-Class, not the new S-Class.

There is a very interesting article about the S-Class in the April issue of CAR. They tested a S320 CDI vs. the Land Rover Range Rover and the Bentley Continental Flying Brick. Of course this wasn't a head to head type deal, but more a luxury test of the S-Class vs what I guess they think are its more important rivals in the minds of most British consumers. They said they drove the S320, S350 and S500 (550), but decided that for England the S320 CDI makes the most sense, but they said they don't blame anyone for wanting the S500. Of course the S320 came in 1st place, followed by the Bentley and then the Range Rover. They said that the new S is the top luxury car in the world and that is "untouchable"! The Bentley was more "special" but couldn't stand up to the Benz in other areas. The Land Rover of course is a SUV so it has limited on-road capabilities but is very luxurious. In the end CAR seems to be nuts about the new S, just like were the W220 until the new Jaguar XJ8 came along in 2004.
