A Fond Farewell
This morning, I bid farewell to my 2008 S63. The lease was up and with the coming 5.5TT engine, I could not see myself settling for a 2010 S63, or even an E63, with a soon-to-be outdated engine. The information on the new engine look too inviting - more horsepower, more torque and 20% better mileage.
Although no substitue for an AMG, I have settled on a short-term (24 month) lease for a Launch Edition E550A Cabriolet. While it isn't an AMG, I expect the power-to-weight ratio should be enough to keep me entertained.
Until we meet again.......

For an average drive in the city or local highways, there is little difference between the 63 and 550 engines. But the engine sound, better brakes and stiffer suspension of the AMG cars are part of the extra cost and cache of these cars.
Good luck with your new ride and post some pics please.
