SPOTTED! C55 AMG in midtown Manhattan!

This afternoon I saw a black C55 AMG with an asian man driving it with his wife/girl friend. The car was unbelievable! I was gawking at it as it rolled by on 42nd street right near times square. The vehicle had DTM new jersey manufacturers plates on it so I assume it was an MB exec or something. Post if it was you! Awesome ride!

actually I've seen it last weekend. it was in Hoboken on River Rd. He drove past me like 3 times before he parked his car by the rocks. i couldn't believe what i was seeing but it was indeed C55, with 4 exhaust tips, and new interior, and deep sound of a V8 monster. it had temporary license plate on it also.

looked gorgeous.

I saw one about a month ago. It was at the dealership I bought my car from. Some rapper, I think name is Jaheim (if that's how you spell it) and his crew was circling around it excited as hell. Apparently, he had just purchased it. SICK car!

Probably from the MB USA office in Montvale, NJ. If you're in the Montvale area, you'll see new BMW's & MB's sometimes before they actually get released to the dealers.

I saw one today too here in California ! Was black as well with MFG plates.

I'm told they have them at the VPC however they are on hold until the navigation Discs are available to release with the vehicles.

The Nav CD's have shown up and not all the C55's have Navi. MB is holding the cars for the official release date so some dealerships dont get thier cars a month before another. There are some new SLK's as well starting to roll in to the port but those will not be released for a long time.

The 2005 W203's with Navi have been delayed for a long time but the CD supplier must have picked up the slack and shipped out the parts.
