Couldn't have said it better myself.
500E's performance doesn't really have the shock factor today as it did ~15 years back, 14 sec in the 1/4mi isn't that great. Hell, a W210 E430 with a five speed auto is just as quick but with better economy. Just my two cents on the 500E (but, those wheel flares look NASTY!
)
