Where do we go after an E55?
I was just thinking about the direction I might have after an E55. What is really the next step in the automobile world? I think I truly understand why older members do not want "kids" to have these cars yet because there is a hard replacement.
Just off the top of my head of future cars:
1.) CLS55
2.) Cts-V
3.) Gallardo
4.) P-Car
5.) Viper
6.) Vette
7.) CL65
Just throwing some examples out, what do you guys think?

CTS-V would be fun if you could get over the interior and GM service. 
Do you have any other cars?
Do you need a do-it-all ride? More luxury? More performance?
Are you buying new? CPO?

2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
excellent question -- I cant see myself getting rid of this car -- even after my warranty expires in 3 years.
I can start thinking about a 2nd car - probably something compact/cheap and great mpg.

One thing I've kept an eye open for years... A good deal on a 95
Toyota Supra TT 6spd. They keep going up and up and up in price.
If you've ever driven one of these you'll know what I'm talking about.

My 07 C6 was awesome, never rattled, nothing came loose, had a great 35K miles with her. The Caddy on the hand.......... P O S. I couldnt keep up with stuff that broke, came loose, popped off, didnt work, or just plain RATTLED.

Logical move from the E55 - the 2012 E63 with the new 5.5TT with optional performance package.

Unless a track day car, I've always found two seaters very restricting even though I don't have kids and won't own another unless it doubles as my track car. Some people love a sporty look for the street, but I prefer sedans on steroids.

I agree, but i also think you can buy/make more car for that kind of money
