Well, let me throw my thoughts...
If you want to be "environmentally positive" then you go with GS450h... that's what I did.
If you look for handling and good quality then go with BMW 650... that's what I did before going green (645)
At last, MB quality suppose to be improved, but after my experience with wife's e320 I decided not to look at MB for the while. It was the first year with new body style, so that may explain most of my issues...
Things you should know:
BMW and MB were announced biggest polutters in Europe!
Decision is yours...

I have driven the CLS 500, 55 AMG and brand new CLS 550. I would rank them all above my GS! The only one I could afford though was a used CLS 500 or a brand new loaded GS and that was a no brainer.

I agree that people are comparing different groups, but isn't that the fun of car shopping or being a auto industry fan?
Besides, it is rare that someone says I want a midsize luxury sedan and only compares the 5, E, GS, A6, DTS, etc?

I had my aunts 203 C320 lemoned, from the day we pulled it off the lot **** started breaking.
My friend had his 03 E55 lemoned, the dealers pretty much rebuilt the whole engine to no avail, his problems still persisted.
My cousins Sl500 is in the shop once a month, maybe more for random issues that an 80,000+ car should not have.
My uncles S500 had his suspension give out twice, looked like he was trying to lay frame. It also had random electrical issues which would pop up intermittently and then disappear after a few hours/days.
Ummm I can list more but I'm just tired..
Now I've heard that Mercedes has straightened up their act in the past few years and I wish the best to them but I personally wont drive one... well maybe a AMG under warranty
