Why should I also consider these?

The BMW 5-Series is the traditional archrival to the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and it tends to have a businesslike approach to driving that's usually more involving (and fun) for the driver—ditto for the underrated Infiniti M, perhaps the sleeper of this group.

The Lexus LS is by design the most conservative and least performance oriented.

This big sedan delivers detached and serene luxury that some drivers will enjoy.

Several years ago, the Cadillac STS would not have made it into any type of comparison to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the car has improved so dramatically in performance and build quality that it now presents itself as a credible alternative to the Benz, especially if your pro-American sentiments are running high.

The Audi A6 and more performance-oriented A6 4.2 are nimble mid-size sedans that provide less room but much more contemporary style than the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

As welcoming as the Benz is, Audi still leads in interior design.

Either way you go, when you're spending upward of $50,000 on a car, you'll get something good when you pick from this group.

 
2009 Cadillac STS
The 2009 Cadillac STS isn’t a standout for looks, but you’ll appreciate the way it drives.
 
2008 Audi A6
The 2008 Audi A6 has plenty of competition, but its graceful look and feel set it apart from more brutal German and more clinical Japanese iron.
 
2008 BMW 5-Series
The 5-Series sedans and wagons aren't the most practical or the best values in their class, but they're very enjoyable to drive.
