almost got the AMG E55
i went to test one out to see if liked it enough to buy it. answer is: i love the power but thats it. the car didnt have the same perks like my GS. the interior is pretty plain with the exception of the adjustable side seat bolsters, massagers and a few other things. suspension was tight and steering was tight 
the instrument panel is pretty boring
...it has a clock in there
! given my GS doesnt have the power of the AMG, i couldnt bring myself to buy the E55 regardless of the power. i love the interior in my GS much more than the E55 interior. for a car that cost twice the amount, other than raw hp, i couldnt do it.... maybe i was expecting too much. now if lexus would get it all together and make a super sedan, id buy that for sure. i was looking for something with the same luxury feel with massive amount of hp.

the isf is too small for my taste.
the ls460..nice but i wanted something that can pull harder.
the GS and the AMG is not an even trade. id have to cough up atleast 20K more... i guess i was looking for 20K more bells and whistles.
i dont like the new M5
true, it can get me there faster but i was looking for the best of both worlds. i like my bells and whistles..

the m5 has power, but the interior is horrible at best, far worse than e55/63 imho.
i actually quite like the e63 interior. granted some stuff are weird (nav, and that clock), but if i have the money, i would get it over the gs myself
now if we have gs-f

i think if the car has the type of i-drive system (like their new s class), then i would like it even more (given we won't see touch screen on mb...)
the clock on the cluster, that's just weird for sure
the one i drove has pana roof, that's so awesome. and of course, the power and handling, those just put big smile on my face

the clock is definitely weird (in a silly way). i looked pretty disgusted when i did the test drive
try the e63. you might not be as impressed about the power though coz' of the less tq, that's what most amg owners talk about. but i kind of like the exhaust roar more on the e63
