It's difficult to overstate the impact these things had on the automotive market when they came out, and the R&D spend was supposed to be something truly insane. Which is odd, as they seem to have spent exactly nothing of the ES250 Camry clone that was offered next to them :)
Drive one and see if you like it, I would say. There's a certain appeal to the smoothness and DOHC V8, and they don't actually handle badly in a measurable sense, but they just aren't engaging. I might say the same about the E-class Merc actually though. Always wanted to try the Q45. Apparently the early ones were actually very sporty. Checkout the SC300/400 coupes too if you don't mind two doors, those have a bit more soul in them I hear thought I've never driven one.
