Or anyone else, got any sales figures on the E63 so far?

Wondering if the controversy hurt sales at all. Seems pretty strong...no?

Question

Does anybody buy into the theory that the 55-series cars had such a following, and the reputation of the blown 5.4 liter motor was well known enough that many buyers opted to stick with the tried-and-true instead of the latest-and-greatest?
I know that is exactly what influenced my buying decision. I wanted the 55, despite the minor chassis and braking improvements in the 63's.

Honest question -- does the economy really play a big role in car purchases at this level?

55 is a tough act to follow.

TQ sells cars, HP wins races.

Too bad that second one has that plaque from the dealership on it, I think that is the worst thing a dealership can do to a car. I guess they realize we take off all the plateframes! With regards to the third one....are there many people out there buying E AMG wagons in US?

Exactly. That's why I am keeping my 55. I am not in the habit of going over 130 on public roads.

Agree 100%

I hate it so much that I won't buy a car from a dealership that does it even if they offer to remove it. I've never heard of this dealer but it could be one of the worst ones I've seen... Who the f*ck would want "A Dick Dyer Original" on their car anyway?

Bought my car from Dick Dyer and removed that stupid plaque the minute I got my car. Came off without a hitch. Was on there w/ a mild adhesive. Never left a spot.

Of course...AMG is not stupid to make New model slower then old one...1/4 is not the end world...some cars like M5/M6 or even E63 now pull harder on TOP and have more power at the wheels at higher speeds...

But Low end Torgues of 55 Kompressor is addictive...
