S600 with a Renntech package (just under 700hp and 800lb torque at 1800 rpm's) You can not compare these against a STS, The S600 way outclasses the STS in all areas. Especially the price. They are really two different cars.
The STS handles better because of its lighter weight, but the Mercedes makes it look like a 3 cyl. Metro Geo in the Get up and Go department and that includes the STS-V.
There are a few pro's and Cons going to and S class/7 series BMW.
After driving a twin Turbo V12, you won't want to drive anything else, I assure you that.
For an all around car, Stick with the Cadillac, unless you're making $150K and up per yer, I say the Mercedes for an everyday car is out of the question.
Just my .02
Good Luck

First and foremost, are you looking for extra sons?
However; my old man had been rather fair with giving me seed money years ago, so I really have no place to bitch.
Second, I appreciate you explaining the differences. You have describe exactly what I am hoping the STS/DTS replacement will be. I just hope it will be here in time!
I always talk big, but then I start bean counting I become very thrifty...
