Depends how much money you have to run the thing.

if i had money just to spend, the Benz. A responsible choice for a car to DD for the next 10-15 years, the Avalon. No point in a V8 awd when stick in a tropical climate rarely going over 50MPH. Plus, there are millions of W221's here in shitty conditions or all Vato'd out.

I test drove an avalon once. Here's my review of it.

As many w221's I see on a daily basis at work, they are equally plain to me as well. I'd take an AMG though. I think the Avalon looks great inside and out. W221 wasn't that good looking ever to me and it didn't age well. They sure as heck didn't drive too good for me for what the vehicle is.

...but an AMG, mmmm those are too rad!

Find an AMG. If you're going to go crazy go full crazy.

This. You can always get a beater to daily drive. And plenty of assholes drive an s class. But you pull up in bentley and it means something.

You don't mess around. And no one thinks you mess around.

The Benz, easily. The Arnage is cool, but has embarrassingly bad tech onboard, will break a lot and cost a ton to fix. Also gets appalling mileage. It's an awesome car but just not as nice as the S550.

They really aren't that unreliable, the V8s are way better than the V12s.
