jk of course... I'd say that's a step or two up from the GS
E-class is a very nice car but I emphatically, categorilly, most definitely disagree it is a step up from the GS. I would say they are in the same level. Since the GS has proven to be more reliable, I would would place it a little higher if I had to make a choice....but that's only because reliability is one of my highest values for car choice. They are in equal status imo.Originally Posted by Ramon

Congrats on that E55 pickup!! Great choice, those AMG engines are beasts. Doesn't look too bad next to that S550. Definitely a good look!!

I agree.. i wouldn't say it is a step up since GS and E pretty much in the same class.. I actually went to Lexus dealer with my wife at least 4 times to look at the GS hybrid.. (I dont know why she wanted one but she is a enviormental engineer may be that's why..?) The GS is nice.. but for 70 grand man I just can't do it.. I have look at other GS but I'm just not too impress.. its not days and night compare to my old one...Originally Posted by reggiek

The GS will out last my E no question about that...I know my E will brake down some day but I got 100k factory warrenty so I should be ok.. I still have 2 Lexus park outside of my house and they are both excellent as far as reliability.. but would I be happier if I got the new GS instead of the E?? Not sure.. I know I'm pretty happy with the E beside the 9 mpg I'm getting

I wasn't refferring to the E class as a whole as being a step up from the GS.... I was refferring to the E55 specifically in comparison to his old GS.

Congrats!! Great choice will definitely kick my E320's ***. The CLS actually handles better, to me at least. Even though it's based on the E-Class chassis, etc, it's set up to be stiffer, and if I recal correctly, it's a little lighter too.

They are very good vehicles. I had a chance to drive one once for a friend who was going on a 2 week trip (and my friend wanted it driven). Nice torque and great steering. A wonderful vehicle.

This car is a monster in straight line..it is very very fast from the factory.. but it doesn't seem like it handle as well as my p-car and M.. eventhough its fast it can get boring after a while
