Default tradein my 01 Mercedes E55 AMG for a 08 TSX..??

my 01 E55 AMG only has 77k miles and is running like a champ. the only negatives are that i live in MI, and even with 18" snow tires the car can get stuck in snow. also, i avg. 16.5MPG during winter, and 18MPG summer. besides, i've had my AMG for a while, and getting sorta bored.

i dont want to get a winter beater and own 2 cars, so how does trading in the E55 for a 08 TSX sound? unfortunately, i cant find any manual 08s around here, so it'll be an auto. (but auto gets better MPG?)

i think TSX would do ok in wintertime with OEM tires b/c it's FWD. i'm hoping TSX would get a better MPG too.

but it'll be less fun to drive than the AMG, and 392lb ft of torque will be missed (dearly).

i can get a pretty good deal on a 08 TSX, and trade in quote from the dealer isn't bad at all.
