" The famous 3-pointed star. It's everywhere and stood guard except for 1 secret location off limits to the public. Inside these doors are the hidden garages of Mercedes-Benz. "

" The S-Class is always the top-of-the-line Mercedes. And the one inside the hidden garages is no exception. It is the personal S-Class of Bruno Sako, head designer for Mercedes-Benz for almost 20 years."

" This car is coming out of a time, end of the 80s and beginning of the 90s where it's a more, let's put it this way, Caribbean-orientated look was taste-wise fashionable."

" While the S-Class officially begins in 1973, it is the Bruno Sako car. A coup or seal model of the S-Class that for the very first time combines every modern Mercedes safety and comfort feature into 1 car."

" I think within the history of the company, this model was a big push not only for the company itself in regard of what is technically comfort-orientated, ride-orientated feasible by producing cars and selling cars. I think it was also a considerable push for the whole industry, also the competitors of Mercedes-Benz. "

" From the Bruno Sako car until today, every S-Class is a unique combination of more than 100 years of history and state-of-the-art technology."

" It had 2 different, very important parts we have to take care on our history, but also we have to make this every new car a real big step into the future. We have to take 3 years roundabout to design the car. When you have established"

" enough. This is one of the classic cars of the future and still available in the young-timer or early young-timer market for a very reasonable price. You should buy one these days. I think it's as safe as bringing your money to the bank."

" The Mercedes S-Class, the flagship model for the oldest automobile company in the world."
