E550 is discontinued accordingly posts in this forum, so you simply can't compare not exiting car, so it is why OP chosen E350, and E400 isn't available yet.

Or were you just saying that CLS550 > E550 and CLS63 > E63?
The E550 is not discontinued yet, and this is an almost 2yr old thread.

Curve on increasing fun as a function of HP isn't linear. When I tested Jaguar F type I found that a less powerful engine is more fun, because 550hp just makes your wheels slip, it isn't really fun believe me.

I know this thread is old but even to this day I absolutely love my W212 but to be honest if I was looking for a CLS550 then that would win everyday!

I just received my 2014 E500 4Matic sedan, so the discontinuance must have been very recent. Did word come from a local dealer--mine wanted me to buy a V6 at first--or from an announcement by Mercedes-Benz?

Going from 40-100 there should be little to no wheel slipping and I have a RWD so I'm not sure what that is about.
