I sat in the 2010 E550
I got a chance last week to sit in a 2010 model new E550 sport package at my dealership... the front looks awesome but the back (like everyone has aleady said) takes a little time to get used to it. The interior was just awesome though and the fit, finish, and materials were better than the 2009 model E classes ....
Just wait a couple years till the 550 models are gone and they bring in the bi-turbo V-8's to stay ahead of the all-new 5 series (550i) coming out next year which will have that new DI bi-turbo 4.4. liter V-8....
The black color SL 65 Black Series they had on the showroom floor though was definitely way more bad ass in person than in any picture... it just looks like what the Predator would drive if he chose to live on Earth... the only few things it needs as far as upgrades is probably a bigger brake upgrade (only because some of the magazine tests say the brakes wore out quickly when they were testing driving it hard), ECU and exhaust tuning (that upgraded 65 engine has way way more potential than 661 HP), carbon wheels, carbon light-weight seats like in the Euro version, and definitely some kind of heavy duty 3M clear bra and paint protection, plus ofcourse a K40 radar/laser system. Tonight on the way home from a nightclub on the highway going home, thank God I was only going 75 MPH in a 65 MPH zone just cruising... I have the K40 but it does no good when the cops don't even turn their system on until the last second and its too late to slow down cuz they've already got your speed....
If I was in a SL 65 I would've gone to jail cuz I would've been racing the Audi S5 coupe that was trying to coax me into a street race .... he's alot faster than my CL 550 but I wonder if he would've (or any other Audi or BMW) tried to race me if I had a 65 BS?
And don't alot of states now have a law that if you're going 100 MPH or higher, no matter what the reason is you go straight to jail?
