2004 E55
Absent, that's a tough one. The E class is such a nice car..size, power and options wise. If you could go to a two seater, the SL's are sweet. To me the S class is bigger for no real purpose and you start to lose more than you get if you have any sporting blood. I like the looks of the RS6, though the wheels would have to be replaced asap? Are you in the minority of those who like the new 5 series styling? If so the M5 would probably be worth waiting for.

I'll need a daily driver,so exotics do not apply(already am on the list for 612,cancelled the Conti).
S600 would be nice but is going to be replaced too soon,RS6 is already a previous gen car,Maserati Quattroporte would probably feel too slow after E55.
It seems,I have to wait and see what this year brings.(maybe S8/RS8 or M5?)

Absent, there is some joy in waiting, researching and dreaming.

I am happy you love your E55. Why did you cancel hte Conti?

I was looking for a 3rd car and after seeing Conti it just did not feel "special" enough to become the weekend toy.It seemed good enough for a daily driver but that would be hard to justify at $150k.
Also,after the first reports,I was a bit disappointed with it's performance(again,E55 beats the crap out of it)
