The price differential between the E53 & E63 falls into the same 'over-priced' category.

Glenn - I've really never understood the G Wagon obsession....yeah they look kind of cool and all, but for what you get vs. the price/gas mileage, just doesn't compute with me. Maybe it's different in Europe or elsewhere, but down here in a city like Atlanta, it's purely 100% status symbol and nothing else. As for the 53 vs. 63s, that's the primary reason I went with the 53.....everything is identical except for the hand built V8 engine of course...which is a big deal. That being said, I just don't know what I would do with over 600 HP pulling up in the carpool line to pick up my 10 year old. I figured the E 53 would be plenty. 
Bart - The 63s is beautiful, I spent a good 15 minutes sitting in the driver's seat. The beige interior is awesome on that blue color.
