The Caddy kills an M5 with a potent driver on the track or street

I believe this is in a recent issue of the magazine.
I loved the low throaty growl of the E's engine. It would be nice if MB came out with an AMG version of the E coupe.

What's wrong with rag tops?

It's classical and traditional and with the modern materials they're constructed out of, the unwanted wind noises at high speeds (which were present in the past) are virtually eliminated.

I personally prefer rag tops over folding metal roofs. They give the car overall a stronger visual character.

Great vid.... The MB might have that slight advantage with the rear air suspension to plant the rear to the ground but both cars are very impressive IMO..
