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.

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 ***** for jet ski trailers or utility trailers using different size *****.

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 *** 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.
