I feel like a V8 hybrid with all wheel drive, a lot more horsepower, and gobs of torque would be very appealing but also have a big price premium.
Since the S650 is supposed to have an 8 year run I expect there will be a mid-cycle refresh after 3-4 years like the 2018 S550. Maybe that "last"...
I voted waiting to see what it looks like, but I'm also waiting to see performance upgrades. If it's essentially the same car underneath, I will have to be blown away by the exterior styling and interior to be interested.
I know, reviving an old thread but I only joined a month ago.
Really love this. Agree it looks more like an evolution of the S197 and probably not ideal for the next gen, but I think it's what the S550 should have been (except with more modern looking headlights). I love the lines of the S550...
