Even in UK, we are forced to pay for certain things on high end models (usually COMAND, CD, alarm system etc)
As a SL55 owner, those E55's will be damn good value !

Well, either that, or I'm trying to delude myself that the E-class will come in at the low-mid 70k level -- the cut-off point before it starts to become unaffordable for me.

Here the price listed for the E55 w/476hp is 87,580 EUR!!!
For comparisons sake, I looked up the S500L (as we only get the long base ver. in the US) and the E500. S500L = 84,216 EUR and E500 = 56,492. (Same price is shown in the Konfigurator)
So I suspect the the new E55 could be well over $80K in the US. This would also be consistent with the price increase seen in Australia.
If our friend Felix (who works at an MB dealer in Germany) is out there, please confirm the price of the new E55.
