hahaha!! what's the hp on this wagon?

I kind of messed that up. I started to put G550, not 500, then remembered it was a G55 anyway.

Anyway, I believe the G550 is ~380 hp, and the G55 ~500 hp.

All the aerodynamics of a 9-volt battery. Some guy up the street has a G55 w/ a V-8. Seems pretty fast for a tank.

Hahaha, byfar the ugliest benz out there.

Yep, and when they first came out they didn't have power seats, power mirrors, or any of the other "goodies" the average Toyota Corolla comes with - all for the bargain price of $100+k. What a great deal MB?!?!?!

My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!

My wife is dying for one. I've sat in a newer one (not the V12, obviously) and the interior was quite cool. I really liked it, all in all.

I've seen another V12 version here in Dubai, it was being driven in a outing to Mall of the Emirates for by one of the Maktoums (Dubai ruling family) for some PR thing for Dubai Cares a couple of years ago.
