Author's Review
I saw this car on the road a few weeks ago and thought the body was real nice. I was thinking it would be in the price range of 45,000-55,000. When I went to the auto show day before yesterday, I saw it and saw the regular one cost 65,000 while the amg version, amg is the sector of mercedes that focuses on tuning cars up, cost 92,000. After this, I though holy crap, who would buy this, the body is great and all but 92,000 dollars is a lot of change. So I decided to go to the ealership and see what all the fuss was about with this car.
I had called ahead and told the salesperson that I would probably like to drive both of them and when I got there, they had both of them pulled out ready to be driven. I cannot put enough emphasis on how great the body is on these, words just wont describe it.
When I sat inside the regular one I did not have that much to say, it was alright but nothing spectacular, once I drove it, I realized the 300 or so horses it had were really pushing to get it down the road. I will tell you right now, do not buy the 65,000 one. It is not worth it. I really dont think I would pay 50,000 for it.
When I started to drive the amg version, I fell in love. It was the most comfortable car I have ever been in. The seats were real nice while everything is there when you need it, including the horspower. It has a 8 cylinder supercharged-intercooled engine on it and will really scoot. The 0-60 time is 4.4 seconds and the 1/4 mile is 12.5 seconds, now that is fast. The engine was pushing 469 horsepower which really amazed me and boy was it there. I asked the guy if I could take it on the highway and he said sure, all I can say is that the power is still there at 80-90 mph.
I am going to buy the amg version next week when they get my color in. The regular version is only god for a family car while the amg version is for the family and getting anywhere in style and speed.
