E63 versus E55

I have seen lot's of pics but would like to hear from those who have seen the new e63 verus the E55. How different do they look? I keep reading in the mags about the new aggressive styling but they look much more similar to me than different. Your opinions would be appreciated.

The front bumper is about the only new thing. The sides have vents that look like gills, front bumper is a little more pronounced, and the wheels look better.

Wrong. Probably my favourite part was the E63 has shifter paddles. When you put them in the sport mode they're actually quite good too. E63 also has the nice navigation system, not sure if the E55 had the same one but I haven't seen any with it.

He was referring to the exterior styling.

front fascia is different, rear deck has a small spoiler (makes a world of a difference), wheels are much better looking IMO, aluminum trim is also different above license plate and front bumper, E63 AMG badge on side front 1/4 panel.

E63 is def more modern and sharper looking (literally sharper and just nicer sharper) then the E55 - the whole front is different and pointed, with the larger grill, same headlights but modified a bit, larger air dam in the front, slits on the sides of the front bumper - new tail lights, and a bit of a redesigned end by the license plate area, and a few interior bits
