Mercedes always strives for its S-class to be at the technological cutting edge

With new technological advances, bold wheels and pillarless design, the CL-Class is as impressive

in the showroom as it is on the road.

Mercedes always strives for its S-class to be at the technological cutting edge, then, is Mercedes’ riposte: the S400 Hybrid.Brilliant, an S-class hybrid! When do I get mine?Ah. Yes. Thing is, you won’t, not unless you steer from the left. The Germans won’t invest in right-hand drive production, pointing out that 80% of Brits will take the 350 CDI, while the Japanese often order S-classes in left-hand drive anyway because, for some reason, many see it as more prestigious. As for the poor Australasians and South Africans – well, they weren’t even mentioned.
