Does anyone know of a 400+ CID engine thats not a pain?

I dunno if the new ones have real poor quality, but its not as good as it is in the older cars. They are super frikkin kool, And under the hood, they still look solid, well engineered and such. The new E500 engine bay looks nearly Identical to the old W124 E500. I looked at the inside and it doesnt look all that cheap. I think Peter Fearing said it sometime in another thread that people who buy new Mercedes is a bunch of morons (in other words), which is probably 75 % of the problem, and I think we've all met those people. Hell fords last a million miles for some people. I just base my opinion on what I hear and what I see, becuase these newer cars haven't proven themselves yet. Until they do, they're just not as good.

BTW, when did they go to McPherson and Rack and pinion? I dont like either.... wanna know what to watch out for in case I decide to import one of them fancy new CLK DTM road cars with 550 HP......
