Driving an E550 would be like having an active duty SAS trooper dressed in an evening jacket, serving as your butler. Either way, it's: "Would you like to go there? Right away, sir. Don't mind me, sir, well get you over there now. Pardon me, sir, don't spill your drink, I'll merge you in now." The 550 would just do it that much faster but no less gently. We get 20 or so MPG. we drive 12,000 a year, give or take. we've had it a little over a year, and other than brakes we haven't done anything. It's at about 40,000 miles. Warranty expires at 50,000. We'll cross our fingers after that.

That's some good writing...and good advertising for Mercedes.
