Saw this S500 parked in front of Taj Mumbai..Carneal red is a classy colour..I liked it very much..Its one of the three best colour according to me (other obsidian black & white)..This one has a panoramic roof, bi-xenon & night vision..

S-class has once again proud that its the best car in the world & it doesn't fear any competition..I was suprised to see the number of cars in Mumbai..within a few hours in the town one day I saw 10+, & it includes S500, S350 & S320 CDIs..I was informed that there is a S600 also at Mumbai with one of the Ambanis..its Traventine Biege colour & he has added a AMG exaust to it..Here r some snaps I was able to click

S500:

Daddar

S350:

Marine Drive

S320 CDI:
Near Marine Drive in a Pump

Bandra

Pally-Hills

The size of the new S is only understood when its seen with any other cars..see this one & the Innova at the rear and the primier at the side..its really a huge car..I had an experiance..I was following a S350 from Calicut..it looked small when it was alone on the road, but once it overtook or pass by any other cars, it looked massive..

I again test drived the new S ;) . This time the S350 that too in the real world. Check out the brief test report : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/new-in...tml#post448134

Hey Guys...please dont neglect this thread...even though the S may not be a rare sight (in cities), its nice to see S-class in various driving situations...

Its from Delhi I've seen such a huge number of S-classes from India...my fren & Merc's Kerala dealer has told me once that, its Delhi have the largest S population in th nation..Within 3 days I might have seen more than 25 new S, which includes S500, S350 & S320 CDI. I couldn't spot any S600 even though I know there is atleast one in Delhi.

Here are some snaps I managed during the trip.

At T&T Showroom, Okhla...they are the largest Merc dealer in India having highest sales volume & 4 showrooms.

There was a S500 (w220) & W140 series S320 too at the parking lot.

Two S-classes & a Porsche 911 in front of same house..one S & 911 covered..all are kept on the yard out side his house & his porch is having an E, 2 Camry & an Accord too..there was guard in fron of the house & hence couldn't take much snaps:

On Airport road & at Domestic Airport
