Nice writeup. The new one also looks 100000 times nicer IMO

Handling: It definitely "feels" like it takes corners better. However to ultimately tell would be (once broken in) on a track. I'm guessing the new E will trounce the old.

How it does it I'm guessing is a combination of suspension geometry dialed in better, beefier sways, and again, the steering. It's just better. The previous E is certainly capable, the two cars however could not feel further apart in this matter alone.

Still enjoying the 2010. Thought I'd post some pics of the '07 of a shoot I did over the summer. Enjoy. What a great car it (was) is.

Cannot wait for a good day to shoot the 2010............
