2015 Mercedes-Benz S600 Review (150th Post!)

    If you haven't noticed, the market for big, luxurious German land-yachts is becoming larger and larger, and for good reason. One of the most popular choices for buyers is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is good because it has a variety of engine choices, all with different price tags. One of the higher-end S-Classes is the S600, which features a 6.0 liter "biturbo" 523-hp V12 and sadly, a $166,900 price tag. Now some might say that while it is comfy, why not spend your $166,900 on something a little sportier, like a Porsche 911 Turbo S, or an Audi R8 V10? But the truth is that the S-Class is more well-rounded than those Nürburgring lap-time breakers. It is more comfortable than your house, it has more power than most planets, and is surprisingly involving to drive. Who knew that a 2.5-ton luxury limousine could do 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds? And that isn't even the full-out S65 AMG model, which does it in 4.1 seconds, and has 621 hp! The interior of the S600 is everything you'd expect from a $170K German luxury sedan, with soft and supple Designo leather, beautifully made wood veneers, and some rear-seat options that will have you never wanting to drive, such as the "executive rear-seat package," which loses the middle seat, but replaces it with a center console that houses fold-out airline-style business trays, heated and cooled cupholders, and an optional refrigerated beverage compartment.
