Besides engine size. Which would you rather own?

S600, bigger engine, more under-rated power, and twin turbos have more mod potential.

Which one costs more new, and whch one tends to hold its value better? Btw...I'm not looking to get one, just curious because my friends dad just got an S55.

well isn't the s65 coming out soon? I wouldn't complain with the s600 or s55, but would be a little upset that I couldn't wait for the new AMG

when the 65s arrive, will they still have the 55? Obviously I know that the slk55, c55, e55, g55, and clk55 stay; but will you have an option to choose between the s55/s65, cl55/cl65, sl55/sl65?

i would imagine so. the sl55 will be more accessible to more buyers. there's probably 3-5x more people who can get a 120k car than a 200k car
