Hahah, you're so right. I live in Europe right now and the depreciation is so big in markets like Germany or Italy that in a couple of years after launch you can buy it for the price of a new VW Golf.
Leonor Lazami It's when an item loses value over time, due to newer products being launched and people selling them for new ones. Typically more expensive cars suffer from higher depreciation, as people don't keep them that long.
Nah..you are wrong. When the new product comes out, the old one not worth buying anymore. Cars, especially the luxury ones, are only luxurious in its first few years. So when you buy one new, you can have it for the longest period. The later you buy it, the less time you have with it. When the new generation comes out, don't touch it, not worth any penny. The year always comes before the model.
It's quite simple: it doesn't have any competition. Compared to this, the A8 and 7series have more in common with something that Fred Flintstone drove!
Man this guy just keeps impressing me more and more. The most interesting reviewer to watch from AutoGuide. The rest talk like drones. The fatty is good at reviewing trucks.
Honestly this being a Merc they more than likely have it set up for continuous (and expensive) maintenance on the electronics (of which there are too much). We owned a c240 4Matic on a lease and the service bills alone were more than my mom's insurance and gas lol. Keep in mind ours was a 2003 Merc so it was still at least very good quality. Now Merc just keeps expanding their lineup and introducing entry to the entry level cars for mass production. Good luck keeping their age old tradition of build quality up, LOL
wow. the presenter looks better than before. he's got properly fitted clothes now. good job taking away that little distraction. this is an excellent review.
omg I love this presenter! Finally someone who understands my gripe with the benz design team. It's their only fault. Audi is also my fav at the moment.
Good review but you spoiled it at the end when you said "It's not interesting like Audi". Audi is as boring as going to church. If you want interesting get a Jaguar XJ. If you want everything else buy S-Class
OH MY GOD! I AM A MAJOR FAN OF THID FRANCHISE AND I JUST NOTICE THE TRIANGULAR MONUMENT IN THE BACKGROUND...THATS BEHIND MY SCHOOL OAKLAND UNIVERSITY IN ROCHESTER/AUBURN HILLS, MI! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Mangelhaft? Not even nearly. Craig's pronunciation is by far the best I ever heard from a non-native speaker not living in Germany for several years at least. I'd assume that Craig is not only gifted at languages but also must be very interested in German language to get to that level of perfection.
Haha aus welchem Holz bist du denn geschnitzt??! Keine Ahnung wie viele Amerikaner du kennst (oder selbst einer bist), aber ich kenne etliche die von der Aussprache und dem Akzent tausend mal besser sind und deutsch entweder nur in der High-School oder im militärischen Auslandseinsatz mal gelernt haben.
Am I the only one that thinks the interior looks dated and a bit ugly? I mean sure the quality may be good but the design seems like its old school. I can't be the only one who thinks this cars interior looks boring, especially that steering wheel.
This s class will not be the best for long the next gen bmw 7 series is come next year as a 2016 model year and audi next gen a8 will come 2018 as well as a next gen jaguar xj coming between 2018 and 2019 and the s class should also watch out for the next gen porsche panamera coming 2017
nichts als ein luxuriöses Stück Müll One of the most expensive and luxurious junk cars in the world. Who needs a V8 gas guzzler luxurious or not. Europeans should learn to respect environment more.

The best car in its class. And thanks to depreciation, anyone can buy it.
Hahah, you're so right. I live in Europe right now and the depreciation is so big in markets like Germany or Italy that in a couple of years after launch you can buy it for the price of a new VW Golf.
what's a depreciation?
Leonor Lazami It's when an item loses value over time, due to newer products being launched and people selling them for new ones. Typically more expensive cars suffer from higher depreciation, as people don't keep them that long.
Have you ever heard of an Equus? Pfft, best car in its class. I disagree...
Nah..you are wrong. When the new product comes out, the old one not worth buying anymore. Cars, especially the luxury ones, are only luxurious in its first few years.
So when you buy one new, you can have it for the longest period. The later you buy it, the less time you have with it. When the new generation comes out, don't touch it, not worth any penny. The year always comes before the model.
This is the best automobile in the world IMO.
False
The dude said IMO(in my opinion) an opinion isn't something that's true or false or right or wrong so he's not wrong
It's quite simple: it doesn't have any competition. Compared to this, the A8 and 7series have more in common with something that Fred Flintstone drove!
cristiandemirel1918 well said!
I just drove my uncles... It is AMAZING. Everything about it!
that interior is amazing. nice job mercedes.
huh...i saw your comment on the smoking tire once.
***** small world man!
I'm impressed with your german Craig ! greetings from Hamburg
Man this guy just keeps impressing me more and more. The most interesting reviewer to watch from AutoGuide. The rest talk like drones. The fatty is good at reviewing trucks.
Yes, this guy is probably the best reviewer on TH-cam of all the videos I have seen.
Rush isn't irritating to me, but I'm not intimidated by accuracy, clarity, and humor.

Yup if the subtitles didn't stop, I was about quit watching..
auto guide killing it with these reviews.
Superb vehicle for whoever can afford it. I still get from point A, to point B, the same way on my Honda Accord for $100K less. :)
It's about what gets you there....not how you get there...
I am currently a communications and journalism major and just completed my freshman year!
I got a bachelor's degree in journalism with a minor in political science. Tell Holly and/or Garry Gilbert I said hi.
This guy is very dynamic. Good job man!
This. New s550 is an awesome vehicle with everything refined it's just a masterpiece from Mercedes...
I absolutely love the exterior on the S Class.
That 2 spoke steering wheel keeps reminding me of a civic steering wheel from 2006.
Saw the new S63 AMG on the road and it looked amazing.
German is such a beautiful language... :)
Good review
Brilliant!
wow. the presenter looks better than before. he's got properly fitted clothes now. good job taking away that little distraction. this is an excellent review.
I wish I could afford one :(
Nice car, but gets way overpriced for nothing.
Good review. You're a good presenter!
omg I love this presenter! Finally someone who understands my gripe with the benz design team. It's their only fault. Audi is also my fav at the moment.
2 words: Vehicle Masterpiece
That instrument cluster looks very aftermarket. Mercedes should have done a better job integrating the screens within the dash. Just my opinion.
Excellent review. Want to see more from this guy. :-))
YES
Good review but you spoiled it at the end when you said "It's not interesting like Audi". Audi is as boring as going to church. If you want interesting get a Jaguar XJ. If you want everything else buy S-Class
Soooo true
Going 2 church isn't boring r u an atheist

As a German I hoestly hope I do not sound to you like you did when I speak English. Never the less, I could understand every single Word. Nice review!
OH MY GOD! I AM A MAJOR FAN OF THID FRANCHISE AND I JUST NOTICE THE TRIANGULAR MONUMENT IN THE BACKGROUND...THATS BEHIND MY SCHOOL OAKLAND UNIVERSITY IN ROCHESTER/AUBURN HILLS, MI! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Good catch! OU's my alma mater. What's your major?
The reviewer, Craig Cole, is definitely invited.
Grammatikalisch war alles richtig! Sehr gut gesprochen :)
Best car ever.
My god its beautiful
I'd like to know what technology Audi offers that is better than the S550??
Love it, looks ways batter than before, finnally a good looking sclass
I dont know why but this guy reminds me of Steve Buscemi if he was like 30 years younger ...lol
hahahah love the german intro
Thank you English I was like I don’t feel like reading rite now
My favourite language in all of the world pity have so little time to learn it
Tell me that the SL550 doesn't have that fancy computer system XD
Grammatikalisch befriedigend, Aussprache mangelhaft. Trotzdem, interessantes Video mit gutem Humor. Weiter so :)
Mangelhaft? Not even nearly. Craig's pronunciation is by far the best I ever heard from a non-native speaker not living in Germany for several years at least.

i wonder how many people clicked away before 1:21 because of the language barrier, i was close
nice car, woulden t want to have to pay for the repair bills once the warrenty is up, holy overload of electronics!
1:10 yeah! Thumbs up!
Wow Craig. You said Huracan so wrong.
Cant wait to see the plug in version next year.
And the controls are very simple to understand and use. It is very enjoyable to drive and be driven in.
You must be a lib with that Rush Limbaugh shtick. Even though the joke was pretty corny (my opinion), you're still one hilarious dude. 👍😂
Great review! I think the exterior rear looks fantastic. front, not so much
all those tech advancements. For how long will it be reliable?
Wow, the last few comments of this video were distasteful.
Review the Audi RS7!
"We hit a bus of disabled children".....hahaha
Intro music?
I'd take the Lamborghini... and an Audi S8.
Du hörst dich wie ein Schweizer an ^^
Paßt zur deutschen Spitzenklasse die deutsche Sprache besser?
However this car is simply beautiful!
I like it soooo much!
BTW .Your German is ausgezeichnet.
Give me the AMG model, 450hp isn't enought
it looks smaller than the previous s class
Am I the only one that thinks the interior looks dated and a bit ugly? I mean sure the quality may be good but the design seems like its old school. I can't be the only one who thinks this cars interior looks boring, especially that steering wheel.
Ofcourse you are the only one who think that lol
Omg thank god for the english

Amazing car. Would love to take a road trip in it...with Rush Limbaugh.
I love Mercedes, but S550s each year look the same...
Too pretty
I like how he started in German and ended with German humor. Disabled orphan murder, hmmmm

He is trying to hard to be funny........... next

Nooooo! Looking forward to his next Hyundai review - I bet he's already practicing his Korean...
