E55 Abc?

Still deciding whether I should get E55 or RS6? Can you guys answer these questions:

1. When is W211 E55 coming to U.S.? I can get RS6 by July
2. What is 0-60 time? I wonder if it beats RS6
3. Will E55 have the magic ABC control as an option?

Thanks!

for the answers to these questions you could probably check the e55 board... many people there have been talking about the arrival and price of the w211 e55 and its competitors

I was also considering those same options, and I remain on the waiting list for the RS6. In the meantime, or possibly instead, I got a Porsche Boxster S and an E500, as I don't want to be one to respond to the craziness when either car first comes out, and I refuse to pay over MSRP for anything, no matter how much I think I want it NOW. This way, the fever can die out like it does for every new car (from cheapies like the PT Cruiser to the soon-to-be-defunct Z8), where people must have the first ones that come out and pay up the nose over MSRP for the privilege. Should the E55 become available to me, or the RS6 (think there is a better chance of that, actually, since it will be launched in a body style that will be almost instantly outdated), I will gladly work a deal out of my situation with the E500 and climb aboard. I just figured it wasn't worth the wait to be one of the very first - rather wait and see what happens, and in the meantime, enjoy my two cars possibly more than I would the one...oh wait, I wouldn't be enjoying anything right now because neither are available!!
