Default Anyone like the new E55 AMG?

Just saw the commercial...435hp or something like that? I know there's a few Bimmer/Benz lovers on here...fill me in? Supercharged V8?

What are the specs as far as 1/4 times, acceleration and top speed? Still the 155mph governed junk?

Mercedes don't seem to have as much personality. AMG without standard transmission :happysad:. I have never driven the new e-class, but old one....meh, feels just like an es300. So quiet. Nice wood though.

I don't fit Mercedes target demographic anyways so I don't think they care. :happysad: (Couldn't afford one anyways haha)
