Re: [MBZ] 9th generation S-class...
I agree with the factory. I am not as familiar with the 187, but there were definitely S models with the same distinction then as now. S has had two concurrent meanings of years in reference to MB models. S as in Sport 300SL, 190SL, SLK 230, 170S S as in Super 220S, 220Sa, 220Sb, 300SE and so on forward. Then mid 60s 300SE is a beautiful car. IMHO, it is the only Mercedes Benz that rivals the appearance (profile) of the long 126 for beauty and style. Every time I see one, I drool, because they are so rare. Its engine borrows heavily from the 300SL technology. Actually, I could argue that the 51 to 53 models are the second generation S as in Super chassis Prewar, there was the Typ SS (Super Sport) (and yall thought chevy invented that name in 1965) and the typ SSK (Super Sport Kurz) At 12:05 PM 2/8/2006, you wrote: On 2/8/06 11:12 AM, "Chuck Landenberger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chris, > > Try this link...

Re: [MBZ] 9th generation S-class...
It might be scheisse for the 2007 model, but I thinik it was Sport in the older ones...meaning "touring" more or less, I think.

End of the day it does not matter, just a whole bunch of snobbery. Peasants in the A or C class and only well off people in the S and upper E classes. Of course if you really want to pose/show off then the sports or Maybach class is the go. I suppose the Maybach could be the SS class, then again I don't like the sound of that although propably in keeping with the attitude of the sort of people who own Maybachs:-) Hendrik with his nose in the air while being chauffered around in the E class, watching the riff raff scurry out of the way - Original Message - From: "George Gregory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 2:15 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] 9th generation S-class...

Makes sense, the Super class couldn't exist until they had a proper compression engine for it. Maybe that's why the MBUSA link mentioned the year 1978 for the 116 generation.
