Once the W212 becomes more popular (especially with the twin turbo engine coming out), the prices for E63s will drop down to unprecedented levels, which may sway more and more people to buy them.

I just got my 08 E63 and I gotta tell you it gets looks. And to be honest, I wasn't ready for that. Went to the part store to get wiper blades, crowd around the car. Stopped at Starbucks to get the wife a latte, drive through kid is all like "Is that an E63 AMG????" People look all the time, it catches peoples eyes. Not like a nice Vette or a Viper, as it's a 4 door sleeper, but people who know appreciate it. Frankly, I love it!

) Only real car enthusiasts know and even then AMGs aren't exactly anything that special unless maybe it's a BS. A plain old E63 doesn't cut it.

Oh sure, I don't doubt that's true. But up here, in the far northern suburbs of Chicago, you don't see many MBs, let alone AMGs.

Mercedes S55 AMG
I live in NY, close to Manhattan, where it's full of cars - and you don't see that many AMG's. I've probably seen S63's the most, then C63 of the newer cars. I just saw a 2010 E63 today, first one I saw it person so far - nice! The E55's and older E63's you see only occasionally, too.
I've only seen 1 more S55 AMG like mine (01/02 with two exhaust before the supercharger) on the street, too. And a few S55 03+. Only 2 E55 before the bodystyle change too. (Before 03)
I do think the E63 looks a little nicer than the E55..that trunk spoiler and a few minor details make it look a bit more aggresive, plus those wheels too. (I'm talking about the pre-facelit E63)
