Why does towing a caravan with an S class feel like sacrilege?

That is very nice! Always had a soft spot for the W221

I reckon it would make a great tow car, you probably wouldn't even notice you had a trailer on the back. A tow bar is definitely a Good Thing, it is very useful for recovering other vehicles, as well as pulling you out if you get stuck.

Since the towbar all folds away nicely out of sight, I'm quite happy for it to be fitted!

I think we would miss the estate practicality too much though...

This is my current dilemma, a Wagon is so practical but I also want something sportier so CLS SB it is then

Yes, they have figured in our thinking. It would only be a lusting for the new 400d IL6 engine that would distract us. However, this is likely to be a few years away. The old bus will have to soldier on...
