If Merc did S Class estates......

I would be the first in line!
2 adults 2 kids 2 dogs Travel cots and luggage just dont leave much room, hence the roof box.
Come on Mercedes, give us what we want!

In fairness I doubt an S-Class estate would compensate for the space in the roof box.

If space is an issue buy a GL-Class and fold the 3rd row down

I had a Range Rover before and found that the benefits of having a 4*4 for the 15 times a year that I needed off Road capability were not worth while.
And then there was the oil refinery that I have to tow behind me.......

How silly, you could just have a tanker truck following you .

Is the R class bigger than the E Tourer? If so then maybe a long wheelbase R with all the options might be the way forward...

 

[Diesel Benz]

The trunk on the current S-class is smaller than that of the current E-class, perhaps wider but a lot shorter on the S compared to the E. If often take the E with folding rear seat to transport something that would not fit to the S (but still does not need a van or lorry). You might need a trailer for the S-class estate.

I did a little exercise, who needs to spend 70 grand on an S class when you can spec an R class up as per the two attachments and save money...

R320L
S320L

Like the way the roof box kicks up to provide tail wagging space for the dogs

I just found this thread!!!

Cheek, cheek I say

Have I EVER.... said I wanted an S-class estate? Have I ever said that?

You are not worthy of owning an S-class estate, just look at the state of those wheels on your chariot

I gaurantee you will get an extra 10mpg if you shovelled off all that mud on those wheels

Is that the replacement for the space shuttle that you are transporting on the roof of your E-class?

Prince Jeffrie of Brunei had a W140 estate made.

I have lots of pictures.. It looks like someone used superglue to stick on the rear of a 210 estate

I'm afraid it would have to be a new S-class estate

Chattonmill - I think you have misunderstood the concept of claying your bodywork...

I also have two dogs and agree with you and the US market loves big estates too.

There's always the modified E Class estate Binz - Hearse

I had just come back from a 2000 miles round trip, so I reckon the wheels are looking reasonable

The roof box...well I love a bargain, and whilst in Halfrauds looking at the boxes they had a sale on......Discovery there was cheaper than the smaller ones, so I thought I might as well go large!(And if you take Grannies heels off she fits in nicely)

Plenty of classic Mercedes options for more load space.
