Interesting that a large number of posts are discounting the Merc because of it's styling. I remember when you could easily dismiss a Merc because the BMW was the true drivers car, and the Merc just couldn't even get close in handling, response, and the overall driving experience.

Now I'm afraid that BMW has simply lost it's edge. They're not lighter, not faster, not better steering, and maybe a bit better handling and road feel, but not in a different class like they used to be. The fact that BMW can't seem to figure out how to put AWD in their flagship luxury performance sedan means that they are playing catch-up now.
