Performance wise, how does it compare to your previous E55. I had an '03 E55 and it was mighty fast but the handling...well, it is a Benz afterall.

Performance wise it feels very similar. It now "feels" like it accelerates faster, perhaps because the wheels are lighter.

And you're right. It's a Benz, so it handles ok ~

Thanks for the pics Robert.

Its funny I took my wife to the local Benz dealership yesterday. In the showroom was a CLS500 and an E55 sitting side by side. I jokingly told my wife pick the one you want. I was thinking she would go for style. She looked at the CLS500 and then turned to the E55 and said "This one".
Well we test drove it. What a blast. Resisting temptation, I let her drive and she drove like a 6speeder. Now I see your beautiful car and think hmmmm... the best of both worlds. Except now I need to go out and find one. I am told there is a one year waitnig period.
