Who cares. I wouldn't waste the time to **** on them even if they were on fire.

I am definitely a big fan of amg. The e55 is an amazing vehicle. My family also owns 2 benzes but i could never see myself buying a new one as their resell value isnt that amazing. For the price of the 2003-2005 e55 amgs you cannot really beat it performance wise though, although the maintenance costs are going to be high

Tough decision. Since I didn't read any of the first 3 pages, I would go with the Elise. Unless you want horsepower or torque. Or have 10 kids. Kind of a strange cup to choose from really.

It appears the only reason the guy posted here was to troll. And then post the link to his thread over there. Why?

But it was kind of apparent that he was choosing two radically different cars just to yank people's chains.

The few people who did respond over there didn't think the responses here were bad or anything. Most didn't seem to care and realized the two cars are totally different. So he kind of ended up looking lame.

I used to be on that forum when I had my Elan. The majority (esp with the older cars) are great people. But there's been a new group of young kids who act like fools. And it happens everywhere on car forums these days. People need to identify themselves by the friggin brand of car they drive. That's pretty sad.

Oh, that thread was not exciting at all! I was expecting some real action! Agreed, the guy is a troll, and his head cannot be all there to cross shop the 2 vehicles..... I personally love both...
