In our second "Review Roundup" of the day, Car and Driver and Auto123 both take a moment to strap themselves in behind the wheel of the 2007 S550 4MATIC, the newest and most un-four-wheel-drive-like four-wheel-drive S-Class ever produced.

In both cases, reviewers found the differences between the S550 and its S550 4MATIC to be minimal, with the 4MATIC variant still delivering an impeccably-luxurious ride.  Both reviewers also do a respectable job highlighting various technical aspects of the model, meaning anyone considering opting for the 4MATIC S-Class variant should find the two articles generally insightful despite their somewhat diminutive size.

To learn more, you can find both Car and Driver's and Auto123's reviews below; and to Jinx: thanks once again for the tip; we're forever in your gratitude.
