#205 of 441 ML 350 review by scott1256 Jun 10, 2005 (9:09 am)
in today's Wall St. Journal (Friday, June10, 2005).   Quite a positive article: 'a real improvement on the original version'. Excellent handling/cornering. MPG averaged 16.5 which was thought to be a bit low.   The author avoids the snide "Mercedes quality is terrible nowadays" remarks some reviewers now put in every Mercedes evaluation.

#209 of 441 The new MB S740iL by ikramerica Jun 20, 2005 (11:29 pm)
Though i like the MB front end, so much of the new S is much like the BMW 7 series, inside and out. Sad really. Replies to this message: merc1 (Jun 21, 2005 12:25 am) scott1256 (Jun 21, 2005 7:19 am)

Replying to: ikramerica (Jun 20, 2005 11:29 pm) I can surely see the inside, but what do you see thats like the 7-Series on the outside? The trunklid? I think that looks for more like a Maybach that a 7-Series. I don't see anything else, it surely isn't those puffed up fender arches....   M
#211 of 441 S vs. 7 by scott1256 Jun 21, 2005 (7:19 am)
Replying to: ikramerica (Jun 20, 2005 11:29 pm) I see hardly any resemblance between the exteriors of these two cars. The interior is similar but I like the way Mercedes has applied their wood trim.   What bugs me is that the side view of the S shares many cues (particularly the fender flares) with the Ford Focus 4 door sedan.
#212 of 441 New Mercedes series selling by scott1256 Jul 01, 2005 (11:40 am)
like hotcakes!   The new SLK and M are carrying the torch for the whole line. Hope the new S will do likewise.   http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/07/01/136380.html Replies to this message: merc1 (Jul 02, 2005 9:23 am)

Replying to: scott1256 (Jul 01, 2005 11:40 am) Thats amazing, the best June on record and every Mercedes except the SLK and M-Class are down compared to last year. Don't forget the CLS too, it did a lot to keep MB ahead of June 2004.   I predict the new S will be the best selling S of all time for several reasons, its different and looks to finally be of the type of quality an S-Class priced vehicle should be.   This year though the facelifted CLK, new R-Class and re-engined C-Class should all really turn things up in July, August and Sept as all three are introduced.   I'm glad to see the E-Class pulling close to its month by month percentages of last year. I think it may be able to rally late in the year and re-claim its best seller in class spot from the 5-Series.   M
#214 of 441 Don't forget SLK280 by ikramerica Jul 02, 2005 (7:53 pm)
While the new engined Cs will help some against the initial firepower of the new 3 series, and the CLK will hold steady with it's changes (rather than continuing to decline),   It's the R-Class, the CLS, the M, and the new SLK280 added to the SLK line that will continue to boost sales.   S class will decline until the new model, CL is in the toilet, E class is just going to hum along until a face-lift and new V8.   You also may see a surge in G class sales toward the end as some people will see it as their "last chance" to get one.
