I apologize if the thread I am about to start "winds folks up", BUT I am seriously tryng to get my mind right-specific to a new car. I've posted a thread that is similar to this before, but I'm going to try again.
1. I'll soon be "rotating" cars down to accomodate a new driver. As a result, I'm getting a car late this year/early next.
2. I want a sport/lux sedan
3. I love BMW fit/finish
4. I like horsepower made the old fashioned way-and am not enthralled with turbocharging-though I do like the torque numbers on the turbo 4.4.

Currently, I'm between what may seem to be three quite different cars:
1. Infiniti M56 Sport 5.6L 420/417 and 68K loaded to the gills.
2. Mercedes Benz E63 (you know the stats) I'm worried that they will jump to the new 5.5L twin turbo before I am ready to order, in other words, a 2011
3. 550 M-Sport (you know the stats, but nobody knows when the M-Sport pkg is coming-completely ridiculous)

I know that the pricing of 1 and 3 are within 8-9k, and the middle one is considerably more. The bottom line is that here in Texas, we don't take real kindly to turbochargers or govt healthcare. Convince me otherwise.
