MIAMI C55,
i know its probably in a completely different category then a G500/G55 or RR-sport but if you got the time and if you like the new body of course you can always wait it out a little and put an order down for the new ML63 thats coming out... im not sure when but im sure that the ML will BE THE 1ST BENZ CLASS to have the new AMG 6.3 V8 AMG and if you want some class/performance and still own a BENZ
that may be your best bet...
i mean i could be wrong you may be looking for a car right now, or just not like the new ML but if you can wait i would say its a good investment
+ they're changing the g-class next year and the RRsport although luxurious will drive you CRAZY
with all the mechanical problems (trust me i know)

Dude, sorry to hear that. On the bright side, I guess you're going to get a new ride. Cool. Anyways, Why not get a Hummer, so next time you not only run through any puddle but also run over the other cars too.

Cars and boats!
sorry to hear about what happend Chris!! With all the storms and flooding lately around town, I'm glad I still have the ML55 at home to take out when the weather gets crappy. During the night of the storm a couple buddies and I were driving around near the Falls and saw both flooding and downed trees. The weather here has been pretty crazy. Its nice that we have had a little break these couple of weeks.
BTW, I hope all goes well with your final decision but if it helps, may I encourage you to consider either the Porsche Cayenne Turbo or the G55.
