ok...that link is super SLOW...but I'm guess they have two pictures of the test mule from the front of the car. If so, I've seen that. Looks cool, but I want to see if it'll have the quad or not.

although, don't like the idea of having a huge v8 to upset the weight distribution, but the more torque the better. TORQUE RULE!!

Unhappy C32, C55, doesn't matter.

Received my 2004 C Class brochure in the mail today, low and behold, C32 is listed. What wasn't listed, however, was a picture of the 2004 C32. I believe there were pictures of just about everything else in the brochure except for the AMG model.

In any case, I called the dealer today to get an update on the order. As far as they can tell, they can't see a product date being set "But we guess it might be here by November".

November .. A lot further off than the original "Late August" timeframe I was given when I placed my deposit. In a fit of frustration, I've cancelled my order for the 2004 AMG C??, whether it was a 55 or 32, it really doesn't matter anymore.

I think I'll just stick to the types of cars that are produced with enough variety that I'm bound to find one on the lot SOMEPLACE in southern CA.

Impatiently yours,

Matt

Good idea. I saw a ad for a HONDA dealer who had "40 at this price".
