I drove the new 500E on a "track" they had set up on the stadium parking lot here in Atlanta last year and was frankly pretty disappointed compared to my car.

The front end felt pretty heavy and the acceleration was not on par with what I'm used to day to day. I let my buddy drive my car home and he concured with my assessment. Now to be fair, I've got a RennTech front sway bar so my front end set up is a little different, but the difference was really significant.

I think a fair comparision will be to the AMG version when it comes out. The new 500 is just too main stream compared to how my 92 was spec'd.
