I forgot about the MB CLS. For me, it's nip and tuck between an AMG CLS and the "new" 550i, assuming it has adequate HP (not likely), the next time around. I also like the MB S550 next to the 550i.

What's funny is if you drive the E550 - you get the "old guy blues!"

550-6spd does wonders for my 48 years young attitude.

Guys and Gals, I hope that this is not a repost, but I think we already know the outcome.

Maybe I can attribute getting to be an "old guy" to driving high-performance 5s since they were introduced in 87--at least that 535iS got me through a T-bone. Further, I'm now reassured about the readers of C&D, although I switched to "Automobile" years ago; much nicer crowd.
Cheers,
