The newest generation looks great. They are taking a lot of styling que's from Maybach, which is not a bad thing!
If I have kids in the next few years I would love to get a 2004-2006 S65 AMG. The prices are falling to the ground on these. You have all the performance features plus 738lb trq.
Oh and Mad Jad, I would get a E55 that has a certified Pre-owned warranty. These cars will empty your wallet fast without one. For instance a brake job can run from $1000-2000, and that is not even covered.
If you have a cool dealer they will over look any mods you have when you bring it in for service. If your dealer is Phillips Automotive in VA beach expect them to "black list" the car. I personally do not have any mods, but those jerks will do anything to deny work. "Blacklisting" is when they stop your warranty immediately. This is entered into MB database so every dealer has that info.
