I have loved her every minute but the truth is I don't drive her like I used to. Now it is just short trips to work and back.

I was thinking of selling her for one of three cars.
1) BMW 7-series (v-12)
2) 400E
3) Pontiac Gran Prix GTP

The 400 is at the top of the list. I really want to stick with MB and I want v8 performance. I am not sure on the reliability of the BMW. I have to put a little more research into it.
I do love the 400E though!!!!!!!!!!
Let me get this straight - You are selling the 300SD because of the high fuel prices. - Correct?
Then you say you want to buy one of 3 cars, each of which will get worse fuel economy (in terms of $ per mile) than the 300SD. - Correct?
AND they will cost more to keep on the road than the 300SD - Correct?
AND they will depreciate faster than the 300SD - Correct?
AND SWMBO is not keen on selling the 300SD - Correct?
