I love these mid to late 90s videos. They are just so smooth and have this modern and "soft" feeling to it. It makes me feel at home

[henryjasonyauzhang]

This car has more technology than many modern cars...

[fhurley]

Something surreal about how soothing these late 80s - 90s luxury car demo videos are

Thank you for flying Mercedes airlines

I am just blown away how advanced this car was back in 1998!

"You should also read the handbook for your vehicle..." It was 560 pages, plus a DVD. I bought a 2001 S430 new in Feb 2001. Adored this car...i can say without exaggeration that both my head and heart literally swam every time I got behind the wheel. What I didn't love was the $70, 800 window sticker price (non-negotiable / "no-haggling"). The S500 was $10, 000 more, for just 27 additional horsepower, which bought you a 0-60 mph time of 6.0 secs. vs 6.9 secs. for the S430.

It's amazing how this car had all these features and technology in the 90s, and can compete with most new cars of today without being shy at all!

[PrzeszczepiX]

This car was very ahead of it's time! Absolutely amazing!

[maher]

thanks to this car, I have a lot of mechanic friends!

[Vesper]

I wish modern cars would still have these video handbook

I am in Beijing. My mother bought this w220 S600 in October 1999. At that time, it included tax and freight for a total of 1.65 million RMB. It has been driven for 450 thousand kilometers now. It has only been properly maintained and there is nothing wrong with it totally. Now the new Mercedes-Benz s class quality can never compare with it

[TGBNProtest]

So basically, if you want to know what cars will have in 20 years time, just look at the S class of today.

Took ownership of a W220 from 2005 over 2 years ago and even as it aproches 20 years old its still the best car Ive ever driven, hands
down.

“The command cockpit center” sounds fucking amazing

[tomsjis]

dont tell me this was shot in 1998
damn this is cinematic

For all of you who complain about todays cars not having this much technology... Keep in mind that this car cost about 100.000 DM fully equipped in 1998, which approximately is around 70.000€ in todays money. This is also just a video handbook, so of course they are gonna show a fully equipped W220, to show off all the features. The S-Class Was always meant to be a luxury vehicle, so don't expect your 15.000$ 2021 Honda Civic to have similar technology and features, because it isn't going to happen in this price segment.

This car has more technology than my new 2016 Skoda...

Adjusting the tape player settings via a colour lcd. Really shows you how it bridges different eras.

Just got a 2003 S55 AMG, so this video was absolutely super helpful. I used to sleep to this video 😂😂

[Ronniewolfe]

I never knew heated/cooled seats existed 20 years ago. this car was ahead of its time, incredible
