Wow! I have been feeling the same way lately. A friend of mine has one and more and more lately I've been thinking of getting one myself. I'll definitely keep my GS3 though. Hopefully within the next 2 years.

Why does the E55 AMG seem to be the natural progression for GS owners? My boy sold his GS4 and copped the 06' E55 AMG in 07' then i bought by GS430 in early 08' and the previous owner bought a 05' E55 AMG White/Burgundy.. I guess its only natural haha.. More Power, automatic adjustable suspension and great handling..
"...Also, I heard that the E55's are a hair quicker than the E63's! I read that in many places and seen many races (via internet) at drag strips supporting this as well."
Ive heard this also.. BTW

man i know this is a Lexus forum and Lexus are luxury but ***** these are some big $$ cars, at least here in Australia...!

i mean i know the retail on my 2GS 10yrs ago was around $110,000AUD (on today's exchange rates that's around $74,000USD) but mine only cost me $20,000AUD ($13,000USD) and that was through the only Lexus dealer in Perth plus there arent many 2GS here at all and so it was higher priced than it could have been.

So i checked out the price of those 06 AMG E55 here and you're looking at 2nd hand around $130,000AUD ($87,000USD)!

I'm guessing you guys saying its a "natural progression" are moreso the original owners of these 2GS so you are big fish in the 4 figures (AUD$) market, not the type like me coming through as 2nd owners!!
