Nah', it's more in the M5, RS6 category....which is too old for me...and AT = Not good (That why I'd pick the M5 over the RS6)

For $74K, I can get an S4 AND the EVO with money to spare..

I hate benz's and while i will agree on getting the M5 over the RS6....i would definately ship a Holden Commedore GTSR to drive if i had that kind of money.....much much sicker than anything in its category.

Benz SL55 AMG is my dream car.

If someday I'm rich, there's one in my driveway for sure!

I checked the Evo car of the year and that benz was really impressing everybody (the stock SL55 AMG)

benzes suck! they are for ***** drivers who can't drive a REAL car like a Evo or a BMW. I'd personally rather have an M5 than some POS Mercedes.

If its a performance car, at least they would offer a 6spd manual, as opposed to an automatic.

Well, I guess the E55 is not a "pure performace" car, just like the M5, RS6 and maybe the Austin Martin Vanquish....they're a luxury car in performance package.

They target different potential buyer group....not for average joe of course...
