2006 E55
2006 C55 or 2005 E55.....
Not sure what to do. I miss my C32 and want to get back into a benz. I always admired the E55's but they have been out of my price range. Now that I can afford it I am not sure I want it. I drove one and it felt kinda numb. My perseption maybe skewed by my current rides. Thinking maybe I need to stay C class for sportyness.
Any input would be helpful.

Having owned a C32 and SLK32, I simply couldn't do a C55, SLK55, or CLK55 as they just lacked the explosive power I was used to. That being said, the E55 is a larger and more isolated car but one that I still plenty fun to drive.
Only you can make the decision but I was personally not impressed by the performance of the C55 compared to the C32 and I know I'm not alone.

I had the C32 before the E55..... don't miss the C32 at all.... the pull and brute power of the E55 is amazing...... I never thought the C32 was that sporty to begin with....
I might be interested in the C63 after I see some track and dyno results.... although I'm such a power/speed junkie, I might consider the new CTS-V is MB has nothing to offer....
