Mine does that too, and its 8 years old

In all seriousness though, cts-v sedan = hot, any other variation is terrible looking

This probably does it for at least $30K less. What would your E55 cost in 2011?

AMG variant of the E series currently starts at $87,600  
CTS-V sedan starts at $63,465 now (was $59,999 at launch I believe)

I think what Scott was trying to say is a used car is cheaper than a new car.  
Or maybe that 8 years ago they built a car that is just as fast as a new car.  
Granted most e55 fans/owners will claim their powertrian is also superior to the engine currently supplied by AMG.

e55 is a great car and actually something I looked at 4 years ago before buying my first CTS-V.  
Scott I will also say I am jealous of the 20 gallon tank. 17 gallons in a car that gets 12/18 could get to be a pain is the arse.
