I like the how the hitch comes down any ideas if that will be available in the US models? They mentioned the S350's power seats y should they change them the buttons belong on the door not the side of the seat.

Great find. The Mercedes S350 was the better choice, however the 7 series was nice.

I doubt the hitch will be available for US models.

Even the old Benzes sometime come or came with hitches in Europe. Looks funny to me to see an S Class with a hitch.

I think a nice polished aluminum Air Stream trailer behind a silver S-Class would get noticed.:D

I was thinking more along the lines of Jet Ski's.

A receiver would be better than an attached ball. You can put other things into a receiver, like a bicycle rack, luggage carrier, etc, or different size balls for jet ski trailers or utility trailers using different size balls.

I agree with that cause thats the only thing i have used the reciever on my Rodeo for is my bike rack.

Maybe they feel that Americans don't lead active lives.

It may not be legal here. That thing looked a little cheesy to me. It may not meet a minimum requirement for trailers hitches.

We have lawyers here that eat car manufacturers for lunch for making the smallest of mistakes. Some dumb ass may hook up that Airstream and kill himself coming down off of a mountain, then his family hires a lawyer and, well, you know the rest.
