Interesting site with some good links.
Strange that NOBODY has any pics of the W211-E55AMG. Just same old body kit, dual exhausts and wheel pictures. Of course given MB's stealth treatment for their AMG models, I don't expect much beyond the dual/dual exhausts and badging to distinguish the E55 from the E500 Sport.

I kind of think the seats lean more "Lexus" as in, soft looking rather than sporty.

THE biggest flaw in the design of the 210, for me, has always been the dash/console design. Extremely dated looking, even when it was introduced.
The Japanese have long done the best job of making the dash/console flow and look integrated. Then, with the advent of the current 5 series, BMW made a leap forward in that regard with a very nice design.
Audi and Porsche still lag terribly in this regard.
I don't spend much time looking at the outside of my cars. I ALWAYS have a view of the interior, so I'd like it to be as appealing as possible.
The W211 is a big step forward, a step in the right direction IMO. Same with the R230. Very nice layout.
BTW, the new 7 series was a major step BACKWARD in interior design IMO. I was shocked, I had expected something cutting edge, something to raise the bar. Major mistake on that one.
