We crossed shopped the 2012 E550 Coupe, CTS-V and S5. Of all those the 650i was the best all-arounder. The new E550 Coupe is a beast with that V8TT, but the BMW's total package made the E550 Couple feel like a C-Class or at least a rebadged CLK. It just wasn't as special as the 650. CTS-V...Meh, styling is just way off. And the S5 is a dog. The other vehicle we considered on paper was the Jaguar XKR - but didn't want to get back in the jag and it's looking alittle outdated already.
