First Drive: 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550

When it comes to mainstream luxury sedans, the acknowledged benchmark is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Some competitors might be quicker, handle better, or cost less, but none combine style and luxury so convincingly. Mercedes-Benz pours its latest technology into the S-Class, which is the flagship of the line. With competition from Bentley, Lexus, Audi, and BMW, the S-Class has more rivals than ever, but for a certain affluent clientele, there is no substitute for a Mercedes-Benz.
