Autocar CLS55 steering vs E55.

"Judged as a sporting saloon, the CLS55 AMG feels quite different (and superior to) the E55"
"The key to the CLS’s more fluent handling is the 10 per cent quicker steering rack (not surprisingly, it also becomes standard on the E55 from November production), fitted to all variants."
Guys, your E55's will all outdated by November! I wonder how much of a difference the quicker steering rack makes to the steering, only people who have driven both the E55 and CLS would be able to tell. What are all your opinions?

Rats! I should have waited. My new E55 will be here next week. I've heard that the only bad thing about the car is its heavy, slow steering. I wonder if it could be modified to approximate the new CLS.

Guys, November update is for UK bound and rest of world E55's. The US gets everything a lot later, you may wanna check with your dealer or MBUSA if such a change will occur and when....
