5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 sticker $56k plus options
2008 4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 More than most peoples house note, but, you get what you pay for and it is a Mercedes.
2007 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 It is a $100,000 car. It is expensive, and it is expensive to maintain. This is easily a $150,000 investment over 3 years.

7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Much higher price than competators.
2005 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 In light of the prices for all cars today, you get what you pay for and the Mercedes offers only the best. They are competitive. Only problem is high cost of repairs/maintenance. Labor costs.
