Goodbye E55

I sold my 02 E55 last week. It was one of the best cars I've ever had. Thanks to the many of you that have made membership on this forum the informative and stimulating experience it has been. I will still be in the MB family. I just haven't quite decided on what will be next. In the meantime, enjoy your Beasts!

i am feeling the need for a cls 55 as a worthy replacement to the '02 E55.

I may be in the minority on this but I really don't like the exterior of the CLS55.

I too thought it wasn't the best exterior but it grew on me when I saw it in person. My favorite new Mercedes have to be the SLK, and the new S.

I can't wait to see what the next E will look like. I hope its something jawdropping.

I too think the new SLK looks great but while in Germany several months ago, I saw several brand new S class and really didn't like the RX8 type front fender or the BMW 7 series styled trunk which is smaller than the rear end - the interior was amazing!!

I am with you. I don't care for the CLS at all. I think Oldsmobile Aurora everytime I see them and there are alot of them in Silicon Valley. I was temptedt to get one when MBUSA bought back our last E but glad I didn't. So much happier with the E55!!!!
