Can't we all just get along?

I'll take both of the E55 and M5. Yes, I'm greedy. I'm just loving the styles in both cars. Don't think i can choose between these two. One has the advantage over the other, as it will always be the case. So, please NO hating people...if you don't like it, then move along...

Could be fun though on a Sunday morning down some deserted roads....probably not as a daily driver, so whats the point of a 4 door saloon if you can't easily use it everyday?

Do you really want a saloon as a weekend fun car?

I'd rather get a 996 C2 or if I could Gt3, now THATS a fun car...
Yeah, or for those with a lower budget, even the new Lotus Elise will be a very nice weekend fun/track car.

Yeah, but horrendous build quality and suspect reliability negates this and other cars, but still fun factor is 10!

A Boxster S or a Z4 for less money? Or even an M3:p
