Both are near the same price range. Both have big-yet-reliable V8s, and are German luxury-muscle cars. Both are comfortable. Both can be found near the same price range. Which would you rather have?

The W210 for sure. Not a fan of VW/Audi, especially not during their New Malaise era.

A nice big FWD luxury car like the DeVille but no reliability whatsoever and costs more to fix.

E55, because unreliable as it may be, I think the W210 is aging remarkably well and I want one.

I see arguments that both "aged better than the other", but I'm still in S8 territory.

Owning a CL55 may contribute to some bias, but I'd say the Benz for sure.

S8 because much better interior (don't even start with me, MB interiors of that error were horrendous), possibility of 6 speed.

Very hard choice. I think I'll take the E55 because it looks great and RWD.

I don't think I've ever heard the W210 described as unreliable.
