That car is visually stunning even in video. Just imagine how great it looks in real life!

@sexyboi142 It is very difficult and time consuming for me to explain to you this in a short message. But, the easiest way for you to realize the difference between a Merc and other cars, is simply to own one. I personally own a 2004 Mercedes CL500. It is relatively an old car. In fact this model started coming out in 2000. Trust me though, the technology in my 2004 CL500 is way more advanced than the best new Acura. From suspension, to breaking tech...etc. That is why Mercs usually weight more

Mercedes is the best :)

@4MATICbenz I have one it looks fantastic in real life!

[Harman942]

@samov222 You are absolutely right. I have a 1995 Mercedes s420. And i guarantee you that most cars today still haven't caught up th this class leader. I hope Mercedes keeps it up. In my wors the best automobile.

@4MATICbenz Yeah but check out the E550 main competitor the BMW 650i, Seems BMW beat Mercedes to the show room. And your right about that normally aspirated engine like that Merc 6.2L V8 that their replacing.

[4MATICbenz]

@Truemoderate , I feel bad for the 2011 E350 buyers, but no so much for the E550 buyers. The new bi-turbo V8 only has 20 more hp than the previous NA V8, and not to mention that nothing beats the sound and linear power delivery of a bigger, naturally aspirated V8. The new smaller, forced induced V8 just wont sound or drive the same.

[Truemoderate]

Too bad for you people that bought the 2011 models cause BOTH engines have been discontinued and upgraded for 2012! They sport a better direct injection set up and the E550 will be a bi-turbo V8 version with over 400bhp.

I miss the CLK

When the hell the AMG version will come out???

[shelloiluk]

I just ordered the V6 version in Black and Almond Leather with all the toys cant wait to get it .

I have this car. An E500 in Obsidian Black. I was offered a car as a gift and I chose this. I'm 22.

To drive, it really is stunning. It has awesome amounts of power and is so comfortable. Press the 'SPORT' button on the dashboard and the suspension stiffens up as well as the response from the throttle becoming very reactive. The exhausts will now release their full soundtrack of a roar when you put your foot down...and TRUST ME, it's very very addictive. The COMAND is very very smart also!
