One of my concerns, though, is not getting run over on the Autobahn. I've been in Germany twice before. The first time we had a base rental Opel. Shit that thing was weak and scary. We were getting passed by semi-trucks doing 90+ mph. It was an eye opener. The thing could barely get out of its own way and it made for some nerve wracking times trying to merge on the freeways.
The second time we learned and rented a Mercedez with better power (E320, I think) and it felt significantly safer. The extra power was good on the Autobahns with keeping up and/or changing lanes, etc. and it was a far more stable car at those speeds, too, with better brakes. Something important when there's a sudden traffic jam at 120 mph.
For Belgium, Luxemburg, or just about anywhere else I wouldn't really care what car we get but in Germany I'm more concerned about it.
I hear y'all on the point of getting something not available in the US or cheap, light, manual to rev the snot out of (appealing).
