From the Back Seat
Damon Bell
The Mercedes-Benz E550 coupe offers true luxury-grade appointments and a supple, buttery-smooth powertrain that will happily shove you back in your seat if you so desire. However, its low-slung seating position is not ideal for long-limbed drivers such as myself. Depending on options, the ride can also be a tad harsh for a premium midsize car.
Ed Piotrowski
Classy and refined, the new E-Class Coupe, particularly in V8 form, defines "Executive Express." Unfortunately for Mercedes-Benz, so does the Infiniti G37. The G costs a heck of a lot less and is also available with all-wheel drive.
Rick Cotta
Price-wise, the E-Class coupes compete closely with Audi's A5 and S5, both of which offer standard all-wheel drive. In the snow states, that may be a deciding factor. Elsewhere, styling and the three-pointed star might give these new M-B offerings an edge, particularly when it comes to whose car gets the premier spot in the country-club lot.
Tom Appel
This is cruising at its finest. There's no huge wheels, twin turbos, or aero add-ons here, just a supremely sweet V8, nearly magical ride and handling balance, and clean sultry lines. The Panoramic roof is a must have, as it transforms this car into the perfect hardtop sun machine. There's lots of good ways to spend $60,000-70,000 on a car, but if understated personal luxury is your goal, you may want to spend your money here.
