996 Turbo, ML320
The big itch
I am considering swapping my 2002 996TT for the E55. My neighbor just bought a black on black e55, looks absolutely gorgous. Real nice car.
I find that I am only using my Porsche on the weekend going out with the Mrs. I tend to use my truck during the week if I am hauling kids or more than one passenger. It is just more convenient. I would love to have the same power as my turbo but also seat the entire family.
Wife drives the Cayenne S, which is a really nice SUV, but it does not have the performance as my turbo.
What do you guys think, take the plunge. I am thinking Tectite with black interior.
Will the model change in the next year or two? Should I wait for the next model change? How about the M5. I am not so worried about rain or snow or traction issues, since we are in Southern CA.

If you can wait for the 2006 models hopefully coming in Sept 2005 it should be a E63 AMG. 2006 should be the year the W211 chassis gets the face-lift mid-model upgrade. New features will be added with a fresh new looks and the next generation engines - a 6.3 liter, 4 valve normally aspirated engine with well over over 500. It should also have the 7 speed automatic.
