These cars are for people that love the E class or 5 series but want more power. The E class has 3 different models including the e63 and the 5 series has 6 models including the M5..enough choices for anyone looking at these cars!

I can't wait to see what the new S class hybrid can do..it is estimated to get 41 miles per gallon on the highway!!!
