W211/W212 have airmatic and so do the ML's and the customer gets to choose airmatic in SA on other smaller engines etc...

All the 03+ CL AMG's, S-Class AMG's to date run on ABC etc... This is where ABC still reigns supreme for now.

I honestly think the ABC for extreme driving and heavy machines are the way for now, though the Airmatics are like the Range Rover SC's soft on the Ranger SC's, but far better setup on the likes of the Mercedes. Oh I'm going to sleep.

P.S. Will be getting a CL63 bi-turbo by september and it comes standard with ABC. Can't wait.

I know this is gonna sound like dumb, but I would go for the E55 only because those cars turn my head more when I see them on the streets.

But I have also been inside a S55....very luxurious...the E doesn't even compare when it comes to the luxury between the two.

It's always the same people who *****, and tell us to search forums... I mean thats the whole point of the forum? to bring back topics nice and fresh for the newcomers to learn and also to establish what is the actual problem. If everyone went out there and searched, we might never actually post any threads and if we did, we would have to search to make sure someone did not write about it? I mean cmon...

BTW back to topic :

E55 all the WAY.

unless you are 60+, forget the s-class, you really need that oversized dashboard? with numbers the size of the steering wheel...

I mean I do not know what you are planning to do with either car, but do you really feel comfortable flying in between cars with the S55(CRUISE SHIP) or Battlecruiser.

+ I am already scared as it is when I park anywhere, could you imagine if you had it even bigger, it's so big the damn mirrors have to close.
