Uh, what do they call the E-class, then? Unreliable techno-barge?

Let's be realistic we are comparing gas with gas.
The better performance I was referring to was the Mercedes E320 diesel versus the Lexus GS300. The Lexus would beat it in the quarter mile.
And one thing not in short supply in this group is gas!
I'm 6' 3" and I don't fit in the GS 300 SE-L. With the seat at its lowest height I still have to tilt my head to one side to fit under the sun-roof - not an ideal driving posture. (But I'm told I have a longer than *normal* back.)
Which is why my wife and I are now looking at the SE.
We discounted the E-class for being too volume market, plasticky and poor reliability ratings.
The Jaguar S-Type 2.7 diesel is still in the hunt though.
