Most if not all my female friends, family and siblings, love AMG's, though there are some friends that prefer the standard Mercedes over the AMG variants.
We have a number of women in South Africa who just their C63 and ML63 AMG's
(new breed of women) gotta love them.

our e55 belongs to my fiance, she liked this mb body style and i drive 99% of the time when we are together so i had to have something better than all the e350 you see. she loves it and coming from a hyundai she says passing people is fun.
we are both from gear head families and had to get something i wouldnt want to mod so stock fast was the resolution .

yep, my wife dislikes my wagon very much. she's kind of short and says the seats are terribly uncomfortable for her. can't stand to ride in or drive it. she likes the third row and sometimes needs to use the car to haul around the kids friends, but otherwise can't stand it, and won't take it as her own. i've tried giving it to her so as to get something smaller for myself, but no dice.

My gf loves the E55, loves the comfort. She prefers to ride in the E55 much more than the Lamorghini which is too noisy, uncomfortable, too much attention and doesn't have the strength to lift the doors. Also she absolutely hated the '10 slk55 we were driving around in for a few weeks recently.. but.. the convertible does do it for her.
Been on a few trips from Sydney to Melbourne and Brisbane.. 12 hours each way and she had no complaints.

On the other hand, the E55 is a sausages magnet if you're into that kind of thing

Girls like my car only because it's perceived to be "expensive" due to it being the top of the line E-Class of it's year. Other girls that like it have either been taken for a ride and fell in love with it or are gear heads at heart.
My gf loves it and is looking into getting a G55 when she graduates college.

I don't really care for the G55, I think they are ugly too. I have actually driven the 500 on 23s owned by Aaron Carter several years back, basically the same thing. Yeah this guy

Lmao I see you are in the UK, he wasn't exactly a "superstar" like his brother so maybe you don't know who he is but I am sure you have heard of the Backstreet Boys (music group) from several years back. This is the younger brother of the lead singer Nick Carter from the Backstreet boys. He was also a singer on his own for a while when he was real young (no clue what he is up to these days) and dated the actress Lindsey Lohan and Hillary Duff for a while. Him and his family lived in the Florida Keys (in the United States) for a few years where I am from, here he is on the MTV show Cribs showing their little "compound" in my town in the keys back in like 2004.
Crappy quality.

They had all kinds of toys over there and would have little parties all the time.

Now getting back to the thread, I don't really think many women do feel like the E55/E63 is an option they would go for if they had the choice to purchase for themselves.
They might like/love it, but defo not a bird puller.
Yes the men do turn their heads when hearing it roaring past.

Bird puller say what? Never heard that before haha.
Seeing an attractive female driving a "masculine" car such as one that is geared toward performance and/or has a lot of power and good looks which typically would be driven by a guy gives me the warm fuzzies lol

Interesting thread, good comments.
My wife used to complain that i drive too fast in the E55 until one day coming back from LA to the Bay Area, I let her have a go. Within 3 minutes of hitting Hwy 5, she was at 110mph! I casually pointed that out, and the fact that she subconsciously moves up every time anyone comes close to passing her...Of course she denied it. Thank God for a badge and creds... I eventually had to buy her a ML350 to get her to leave my car alone.
Oh, and my teenage niece is always looking for ways to get my keys. Women love these cars, trust me.

2006 E55 BEAST
Took a girl out last night in my car. Girls always get this image of me being a douche when they see my car, not sure why, but they think it's just pretentious. She's a cool girl, and she got in and literally said "should I be in awe?" and I just said, "no, just relax".
A couple of minutes later I turned on her Dynamic and Pulse without saying a thing. Obviously when it started she had no idea what it was, she said "what's your car doing?" and I replied with "My hands are busy driving, so for now my car's gonna molest you".
