Do you have any idea, what the new S600 look like? is it the same with the 2000 S500? HOw is the performance? Which one is better S600(367hp) or S55 AMG(349hp)? The dealer I asked for guaranteed that the S600 will arriving soon... but, he they could not give me the price, they estimation is below 130000....Is it worth it?

Though I haven't seen one in person either(Dealers say some time around May). From the official released pics, S600 has different wheel(looks like Lorinser wheel, but at least 17"), side sills and rear bumper is a bit different. S600 also has chrome exhaust tips like CL-Class, and "V12" badge has move from C-Pillar to front fender, just behind front wheel, on the side body strips.....

Performance wise, I doubt it that S600 will be any faster than S55 AMG. Both should be about the same, but I would go for S55 AMG for its look/performance....

Thanks Andy.
I guess the price for S600 will also more expensive than S55 AMG. S55 is more worth it, I thought. Will S55 AMG come into US? I also read an article in the magazine that AMG might have a tuned version for V-12 engine in the future. Thanks

If AMG doesn't do up the S600, everyone else will. I'd go for the S55, as I'm sure it's much more than just a motor

S55 AMG will be more worth it. Both S55 AMG and S600 has full-leather interior, however, S55 AMG has some special touches in the interior. Go for S55 AMG....and pick a nice, but not flashy, color....

S55 AMG might reach US/Canada this summer.....
