Time to sell your C55
The new S-class 500 V8 gives 0-100 in 5.4sec
If you out there still think you still want to kill the S's, it s time
to move to something bigger.
W204 still a long time to come.
It's time to sell your C32/55 now , take a rest , go with a mini/GTi
We will come back here after 2 years with photos of our 420hp CLE/C63
See you
Bye
cnt
p.s. shoot me now :v

Why are you so obsessed with recommending everyone dump their C55?
Your logic is completely ridiculous. Sell your C55 because the S500 runs 0-60 in 5.4s? Maybe you should head back to school.

you dont get my sense of humour did you? yes, there is no need to dump the C55 , we can keep it , love it , kleemanize it , and or perhaps like what I just did , bought a US$3300 MB55 number mark to go with it....or carry with us to heaven. There is no alternative now, either you make yourself a better driver than the S500 owners or remind yourself, you are not that fast. The bimmer 420ho M3 is coming along. What are we waiting now? Are we trying insult ourself by getting a RS4 4WD , no I wont, I love RWD and RWD only. There has been no plan and we know nothing about W204 AMG - what is is like ? Do we? Yes, I need to go back to school if I still don't have a clue what my next MB car is going to be?

Ok, good, glad you were kidding around. I got nervous there for a moment. I like the sense of humor!

i know that it is a ' high risk ' to draw attention these days; :p frankly, with all that component crisis being sorted out ; our cars are really flying now and stepping into a great 2nd year of life cycle. what I want to point out is we probably should n't sing as loud about it anymore. looking forward to hearing C55 kill stories with the S500's ; or 'being killed'?

Hi cntlaw, were you able to view the new Mercedes S-class in Hk?
i heard from my dad's client in early August that he got a peak at the S class early at Zung Fu in Hong Hom. He said it was of very high quality and very nice. He quickly told my dad to switch our S500 for the new generation, as he drove an SL55, F360 and had an F430 on order and did need a big sedan, but just wanted to sit in one on trips to Shenzhen(our factories are close, so we go together as he does not have china liscence)..
We are going to change to the new S next year.

In fact the C55 is so bad the resale on it is nothing a base mini will resell for more. What I suggest we all do, to get at least somewhat of our wasted money back on this turd of a car, is say it was stolen drive it out to the desert and have a bonfire with it.
Oh and one last thing anyone thinking of buying a W203 C55 is a
and should be 
to a bloody pulp. WARNING WARNING stay away from the C55 it is a terrible car that will bring you zero enjoyment.

I mean 0-60 in 5.4 the C55 could only dream of that time. The new S500 is going to be feasting on some good C-class AMG crap. What a W221 S500 owner will be saying to himself "What is that little speck in my mirror that I just murdered? Oh its ones of those C55's hahahahaha thought he could hang with the big boys!"

That's the dark side of it and I don't think we are warning people too early here. Looking at the bright side, what do we see ?

[Saw a CLS55 AMG this morning parked in my town. Nice, but the back seat sure does look cramped. Not sure I look the squashed window look. I think I'd rather have the E55 with that engine]

haha..actually when we got our china liscence registration, it was a long time ago. i think in early 90's or late 80's so we didn't pay ridiculous price for it and we knew some people in Shenzhen that helped us. :v
Most of the cars that travel from Hong Kong to china are either Mercedes S or BMW 7 series. that's all i see passing through Sha Tau Kok.

Mercedes has always claimed a 0-100km/h time of 5.2 seconds for the C55 sedan in their press materials and international AMG website. The C55 estate (wagon) takes 5.4 seconds to reach 100km/h.
The Mercedes press materials from worldcarfans.com claim a 0-100km/h time of 5.4 seconds for the upcoming S500 with the new 5.5L 4-valve V8 (388HP) and 7 speed transmission.
Unless Mercedes wants to deliberately mislead people, the C55 sedan should still be slightly faster to 100km/h than the new S500.
