Black it will be, all M-B's colors are all nano's!

The new W212 M-B wheels look like shit, but maybe some 17" could do for the winter.
For the summer some nice 18" rims need to be found...

The int will have light(isch) colors, maybe even Artico "semi leather"

The Sound System surround harman/kardon Logic7 is a must.

It sounded fantastic... it was definitely the AMG. Rumbled like a tank... a racecar tank.

Wanna drool some more? I shot these on Monday out in Death Valley... There were about 6 or 7 cars in a caravan...








The one pictured was definitely an AMG. There was a black one too. I have some sedan photos as well - I'll post those later.
What's up with all the tapes? Even a 3-year-old can probably guess that it's a M-B...

Anyways, I think I'm in love with those curves!!

i have a 530dsport, previously had a 330ci sport, and e36 m3 evo coupe, i recently had a merc e280cdi avantgarde saloon for 3 weeks- and boy was it nice, sorry to say fellas it was much better than my e60, in terms of comfort, drive, spec and build quality,it only really loses out to the 530d on performance and looks, because looks wise its a bit boring and old,but it lokks like merc designers will rectify that in future cars and i feel sorry to say they will be more sought after than bmws are in the future. as for audis, they suck drive wise-looks menacing but terrible to drive- ive driven a6 tdi s-line- its got nothing on bmw e60 or merc e class

I actually like the new Audi A5 better... it's a pretty gorgeous car.

Yes, it looks pretty nice - better than the E92

But my next car in the spring of 2010 will be a Merc E coupe
that looks even better than the A5.

(That is if the new F10 won't be a jewel...)
