ThemisN you are correct - I'm all over the map. It's a sign that my heart and my head have not found an intersection!
Emotionally I WANT fast, I don't NEED fast - but does anyone? Well, given that I do drive in modest traffic, the ability to change lanes quickly does help - that's why my tiptronic A4 1.8T wasn't well suited due to turbo lag.
Logically, regardless of what I CAN afford, for the price of a CLS55 (the emotional front runner) I could buy a G35X and a 5 year old convertible roadster, or just keep my TLS as a winter beater and buy an SL or something.

2005 S4
My mom is like that and she doesnt know much about cars at all. She was in the market for something and I was helping her shop. I showed her some Bmw 5 series and E classes. She asked me will these be fast like my XJR. I laughed and siad you dont drive fast hardly ever and she just said, but yea I like to know I can if i need to. I let her drive my S4 and she got one just like it. If you can afford the AMG get it. I think you would regret buying a non AMG. I have a friend who is a car nut(you wouldnt beleive his collection) and bought just a cayene s to tow a small boat. Well few weeks later that was traded up for a turbo.
