Summary
There's no denying that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class line has unique appeal. Some of that appeal has to do with tradition, some has to do with substance and safety (you get the impression that only a collision with a stray asteroid would hurt this car or its passengers), and some comes from Mercedes-Benz's well-earned reputation for turning out nothing but top-quality products. Although companies such as Lexus have made inroads, Mercedes still enjoys unequaled prestige and very good resale performance - factors that may be enough to convince you to make a purchase, if you can raise the cash.
