thanks

Dude:

Get yourself an SL55 AMG. Forget the SL600; for the same money your getting all the AMG technology in the breaks, suspension, etc. plus the panoshe if you will.

The way the SL's depreciate you can get yourself a sweet deal on a car that went over 120K new, and will outperform almost anything out there. Plus, you get comfortable seats beyond your dreams, and a retractable hard top.

Forget the S Class, too big and "clumsy."

You could hang in there and save, save, save and get a Panamera perhaps...

either one u get u cant go wrong, they are both great cars, its just what u prefer better...couse at the end of the day ure gonn be the one driving it.
but y not look into a used 911. that car looks and is all business, id love to pick one up later on sometime

good luck, and let us know what you decide to get

thats true but i can put down 4 windows something you cant do with a boxster
i have also decided to get a S55 amg instead of the s600,The s600 was to much of a drivers car and i was really really quiet.The amg was way more sporty

Incidentally I know you are coming from a 2.5 liter engine, but have you
driven the new 3.4 Boxster or the CaymanS? Not quiet the power of an AMG
but I'd like to see someone outlap either one of those cars in ANY car from Merc.
Ther's sport-y and then there's sports car. I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of Mercs I've seen at an autocross or track event.

But if you are after rear seats then I'd guess Porsche is a no go.
