...... the Americans do 99.9% of their towing with v8 pick ups...

You should see the size of the trailers that those good ole boys tow over there with their pickups!  :o

I don't know anything about US towing rules and regs, but you could easily see some of those outfits easily becoming a case of the tail wagging the dog!  :-X  ::)

Nige wouldn't like it!  ;)  ;D

Same tax bracket as the Omega too :D

These W211 are growing on me, Could be tempted by a E55 AMG. Parts generally seem reasonable. Engine / Transmission appear to be pretty reliable. Probably the most expensive thing to fix would be the air suspension if/when that goes wrong.

Trouble is, like every other post 1980s designed Merc, they have really poor chassis, rust like a sod, and have reliability issues
