Edmunds always reserve the last place for MB whichever the model they are testing,i think the S is the only exception,they nice things about the car then somehow it end up in the last place

Some pretty acceleration times by the E550,nice engine

"For now, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550 is a luxury sedan first and a sport sedan second."

What did u u expect u idiot? it's a mid-size LUXURY sedans,sport is not the prime priority,and judging from the pics the E doesn't have the sport AMG package with larger wheels and fat tyres that affects the handling and braking.
