What other cars might I have on my consideration list?
If you are looking for a more engaging driving experience, it is difficult to beat a BMW 5 Series, though keep in mind the 5 Series will be completely redesigned in 2010 so you might want to hold off there. We love the styling and driving experience of the Jaguar XF, and it offers a V8 at $1,000 over the starting price of the E350 V6. You might also be looking at a slightly larger and more luxurious Lexus LS430, and at a starting price of $63,825, the $56,300 Mercedes E550 starts to look attractive too. Audi just gave it's A6 a redesign and a new engine, so it's worth checking that out. Finally, if brand pretension is not a part of your vocabulary, and value is, you really need to check out the Hyundai Genesis sedan . While it doesn't have all the safety technology and assistants of the incoming E-Class, it was just awarded a top safety pick by the IIHS and gets nothing but 5 stars from the NHTSA.
