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.

I respect that
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!!

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

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
