[quote name='SurfsUp' date='Feb 27 2005, 06:06 AM']Again the 545 and 6 speed Automatic is a great choice and has many people over despite the new look.? But the new suspension and steering have a lot to due with the over all total package of the car.?

[/quote]Bingo! I had a '03 E55 AMG, and while it was crazy fast (0 - 60 mph in 4.3 sec., 469 hp, 516 lb/ft of torque), the handling, steering and brakes were horrible. I sold it after only 4 months...at some point 0 - 60 speed has diminishing marginal returns.
