The fender flares are too beefy. Not really impressed by the looks, but the power? oh my.

Correct me if I`am wrong , but isn`t a limo all about comfort ? Especially in that class.

I don`t think you have much comfort when your head hits the back of the chair from that 0-125 mph in 11.9 sec acceleration.

Just my opinion.

I was never a fan of the characteristic double small lights at the front. But this one looks OK. I guess this car aimed only aty the mafia, who else would bother with a limo with such an engine and stiffer suspension. It compromises it's comfort.

I donīt actually think that the car has a lack of comfort. What is the point in an S-Class without comfort?

If it's smooth, who cares? And you can lightly press the accelerator to reduce the acceleration speed.

I heard that 11.9 seconds in 2 ton luxury car doesn't feel that painful than in a 1,5 ton impreza.
