CNET On Cars - 2014 Mercedes S550

The all-new Mercedes S Class resets the bar for car technology.

This guy is one of the best car presenters on YT: pleasant voice, knows his stuff, doesn't take everything too seriously but still gives plenty of information, good sense of humor. Combined with such an impressive car and beautiful sunny area where the video was made it's perfect!

I am getting one. Literally. CANNOT WAIT TILL IT GETS HERE! If you aspire to get the car. Keep on working HARD it will come true. I can tell you that from experience.

Whoever picked out the music for this video was playing some classics. Damn! Wasn't expecting that.

Inside and out, this is such a wonderful car! Mercedes always seems to impress me more with their interiors than any other car company.

I had the chance to drive this classic car today. I work for Mercedes Benz at Carson, California. Such an amazing vehicle!

Mercedes-Benz have done excellent work on this new S Class W222
Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.

[trinisuprazee]

surprised and glad to see cnet getting their hands on models so new to the market.

Is this a car or a dream home? Mercedes definitely is the innovator when it comes to best new tech for the automobile segment. Also the mastery of exterior/interior design is very impressive!

The music at the beginning now that's amazing!

Brian Cooley on Heaven: "Well the Pearly gates are a  little kitsch and these streets paved with gold are nice, but glare a little too much."

We've had Mercedes-Benz cars in my family for three generations, my dad has had three generations of S-Class but what I am referring to is to the new S-Class. Bear in mind this outstanding vehicle not only replaces the outgoing W221 but the Maybach models as well. I have pre-ordered the new S63 AMG and could sit in a S350 CDI with exclusive package and the quality of materials and finish is totally on par with that of a Bentley FS or a RR Ghost.

Not so Big on the Mercedes in the past few years but I have to say this out does them all in the Tech Dept. OMG. He never mentioned the smooth ride over pot holes and bumps with the camera technology. That is amazing by itself.

[seansanford]

those blue lights inside the car....so badass

[rickrubio]

This will be my next Mercedes! Most definitely!

Many things Mercedes did first and one of them being the first gas car ever made. Along with that, ABS system, fuel injection, cruise control, stick shift, airbags, hybrid cars, turbochargers on cars, diesel engines in cars, catalytic converters, superchargers, traction control, and many other things that I cant think of. They are the pioneers in luxury and everyone else just imitates.

His description of the "Freeside Mood" scent is hilarious!

[jospeh]

people who drive MB knows the quality and performance, not to mention the innovation from the world's first car maker. The narrator will never change the opinion of a MB owner, one way or the other. Owner of E, CLK, S, and now E-550 Cabriolet. 

[Freddiewgbs]

At least you know he is honest about his reviews unlike other car reviewers who never actually provide you with any information

[PassportBrosBusinessClass]

a reviewer's job is to FIND EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM with a product and then present them to the consumer so they can make an educated selection.

Beauty is skin deep.

Exactly! The W126 was the LAST hand built MB S-Class. And while it isn't a perfect car (the ride could be softer over pot holes & bumps) it still can be fixed at home by someone who is good mechanically, and it was reliable all the way around. Not to mention it was beautiful & offered excellent crash protection. Just imagine if you have an electronic problem with this latest S-Class -you wouldn't even know how fast you were driving because the speedometer is an LCD & would be gone from view!
