Wow, you're too kind, David! Now if that title gave me a million bucks. . .

to pay for the $2.10/gal gas prices in So Cal.
Seriously the coupe is such a great car with and it's been the best Mercedes ever. Hasn't cost me anything for maintenance compared to my previous MBs. So I just love it!
Re acceleration: As far as I know, there's no difference in the engines (sedan vs coupe). But aerodynamically, the coupe is far ahead of it time and definitely less drag when compared to the sedan. So maybe that's why??
