well, I remember reading the R&D mag on the C32 AMG, but I've lost my magazine, so I searched around on R&D.com. I think they have the most complete article on the C32 oppose to C&D's short three page bash.

here's a link to the R&D's article http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=1

I could of sworn that I have a C&D magazine with a short (2-3 pages) article and test on a C32. They basically said it was a great car and for those who are looking for a rocket of a car w/ and automatic for traffic jams etc. this was the car for you.

Cheers.

I have that issue still. January Issue 2002. basically that's what they said at the end, but they still bashed it with the usual taste towards automatic...lol

anyhow, they got some good pictures.

Agreed..
But don't you think the C32 would benefit if it had the option of a manual, I sure do!

just got the new issue of the Motor Trend C32 vs S4, and they got the C32 to ran 4.77 second 0-60 and 13.2 1/4 miles...WOW.

the S4 ran a little slower at 4.99 and 13.4...WOW...

they picked the S4 for being more affordable...lol Great pictures of both car.

btw, if anyone gets MotorTrend TV can you tape and save it on the computer if you know how??? PLS...I don't have SpeedChannel at my house.
