I have heard that the E55 will not be offered after model year 2001. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

My understanding is that production is limited to 1500 total units in MY 99, 00 and 01. After that, you've gotta wait till 03!

I believe zrusny is correct. MBUSA will not import the E55 after the 2001 model year, even though it may continue production for other countries. The C43 was limited to 1500 units over 3 years, but MBUSA ended the run at 1400 units, with only a handful imported in the final model year (2000).

The replacement for the E55 should come in 2003. There is debate as to whether it will have the reworked normally aspirated 5.5L V8 with 400hp, or the all new 5.0L supercharged V8 with 450hp.
