Let me get this straight- posting my experiences in cars I have actually owned make me wrong while you post about cars you've never driven or owned. Funny!
AMG cars are $hit ???
German taxi cabs??? bad reliability?? average materials?
I would buy my S550 again despite the fact it costs twice as much as the V because in my opinion it's TWICE the car.
Old cts-v technology?? umm my friend they have been making it for 8 years and still can't get the wheels to hook up. rear diff problems - rattles-wheel hop- below average build quality ect and nothing has changed since 04 to 2011 except more power that doesn't work.....
CL65 and E63 will run circles around it as all-around performers. Saw a C63 (same price as a V) on the track out run a V stock vs stock.
End of story- move on and enjoy your V.
