@Rohan Kapoor: I was going to say, any SEAL with any self respect would never post a video of almost missing the target.

@thebluepill: Agreed. A badly done derivative design that had uninspiring performance even for its time.

@Slave2anMG: Unfortunately, the guy who penned the lines of that car never worked for Toyota. I think his name was Malcolm Sayer.

@Terence Dennis: Mercedes lists the curb weight for the 2010 E550 at 4034. Don't know where you got 5200.
