Hmmm....

I would shoot for the CLS63. Sexy, fast, and since it is for you and her, and no little ones.

If you need a hauler, ML.


The others, NOT.

Question, are you looking to buy new or used? That would be a factor as well....

How about the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT? 425/hp 425/lb tq and all wheel drive. It's almost as fast as the cayenee tt, handles equally good, and is less than half the price.

No, but it looks great in the pictures. When it comes down to it.....400 hp just isn't good enough.

Yes, I actually considered it when I purchased my RS4. A neat SUV but it's not on my list. You see, for some reason I like to buy expensive cars that do not hold their value.

I would trade in the RS4 and the IS350 for one car. I'd keep my E55.

I've slowed my quest for the trade after I was offered 20,000+ in negative equity for my cars. I'll resume my search as soon as the weather breaks.

If it is for your wife I would scrap all your ideas and simply let her pick out a car/truck she wants.

Some great cars you have listed (the SMG M5 is a really bad choice).

Not fast but silky smooth (and women love them) is a new LX570. A bit more stiff than the previous LX470 but at least you won't want to get out and want stay out of the car/truck after 2 hours of driving. I was in a new Range Rover on a 4 hour road trip and wanted to get out so bad it was unreal. As far as I am concerend all the German sport utilities/cars are "too stiff" for my and my wifes liking.
