The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the ultimate and universal automotive badge of style and success. With its rich interiors and plethora of amenities, the 2012 S-Class is one of the few cars that might be more enjoyable to ride in than to drive.
While the 2012 S-Class sedan’s luxury credentials are not in question, some may find the car’s image more Wall Street than Rodeo Drive. If you’re a young entrepreneur who has made it big, a more exotic Maserati Quattroporte, or even the Audi S8, might feel a little less conservative.
