Not really useless at all. Sposty suspension equates to safety. Powerful engines are good for merging with faster traffic. Brakes should be obvious. Then there\'s trunk space to top it off. Overkill yes, boring sure, useless, certinaly not.

The E63 AMG is very good , it\'s good for long trips and cruising.The M5 is not very good on long trips , i know that beacause i have driven one.FastestLaps they are not useless , the M5 can carry you and your famaly , and you still have to own A lamborghini to kick my ass.Some people think that M5 is very thirsty for a 5.0 liter V10.But no , you can turn the power to 400 HP and will take less fuel , but when you want race,overtake etc. you can turn the power to 500+ Mode.Mercedes Benz is very nice , but when it comes to peformance , i will take the M5.
