Cool Looked at a CL55 AMG today!

Wow that is one cool car! Black on black with a few nice options. It looks sweet, and with the right tint would just look so evil. Nothing like new MB smell; it is nice seeing the new ones. The salesmen said that I could have it in any color I wanted but frankly I think black looks the best. Sticker was $125,810; frankly though I would opt for the V12 in that price range. Sure the AMG has slightly better brakes and suspension but stock I'm sure it has more grip and brakes then I'll ever need.

A CL65 would be the best choice but those are getting close to $200k.

One day with a bit of luck I will be able to afford one, now being a poor college student I couldn't afford a door. But the salesman were eager to help me at least...

They never impressed me until I saw one moving. Now it appeals to me at a stand still too. It is beautiful in motion. I think the new CLS wil have the same style and grace.

Are you kidding man? For that kind of money you could buy a Turbo P-car.

Somehow AMG has lost its aire of exclusivity on me. Let's talk Brabus or Renntech.

True but the CL is a nice GT car with four seats. I would make a nice daily driver.

Besides if I had that kind of money the CL would not be my only car. Their is room in my garage for a 911 and a Ferrari.

Not in my area; $125k would get you about 1/2 of a house that needs tlc. Now in New Haven on the other hand...
