Cool MB Wish List for Santa!

If you could pick one MB model, which one would it be for the stocking stuffer?

For myself, - a silver/charcoal CL55 AMG.

Although the CL55 is arguably the best looking Benz, I would want the 4-door Luxo version .....the S55 AMG.

Apparently the SLR and CLK-GTR have slipped your minds?

Oh Santa, make mine a 3-D Mini Showcase with a 300SL Gullwing!

BTW, for any Canadian model collector, the CLK-DTM (Team D2) 1:18 scale model by Maisto is now available at Zellers for only CDN$28.93 (approximately US$18.23). Zellers will throw in a 10% seniors' discount, if you qualify....(55 and over which is usally 65 in Canada).

Got one for my collection. Sure beats paying CDN$59.00 at the MB dealer's P&A.

Dear Santa

Please put me first on the list for a new SL55 and the new AMG E-Class...or I may declare December 25th, "Reindeer season" on my roof!!!!!! And remember, naughty...is just a matter of perspective.

I'm leaning towards keeping it and getting a SUV + slapping a deposit down on the new E-AMG. But not set in stone right now. Got a lot of other **** to deal with right now.

I based my decision on what I really think I will get next- which is the S55- I will never own the CLK-GTR but since this is a wish list then YES I want that MBZ easily over any other or maybe I could get David Coulthard's F1 racer.

I'd get a CL 600... and then kleemanize it!

Niceee!

SUV and slapping a deposti down on the new E AMG! My friend at the dealer is also pushing me to put down a deposit on the new E W211 AMG when it comes out. He said that it should put out easily over 400+hp(don't have the final hp no yet)and that is suppose to be a killer sedan. Good choice though!

Why not get the non AMG and do the suspension/kleemann??? It'd be roughly the same price, but outperform it.

hmmmmmm....

So MACH430 is asking why I would rather buy a factory tuned car with a four year/48k warranty VS. a pieced together non-AMG car that may, or may not have better performance and carries a one year warranty, as well as probably voiding other component warranties as I strip it and rebuild it in hopes of gaining or surpassing the AMG stock performance........yeah, I'll have to think about that a little more....ok, I've decided...no thanks, not for me.

A V12 is a V12, there is nothing like it. I have driven my fathers S600, and all I can say is... OH BABY!. I would take a CL600 over a CL55 any day, even if its not as fast... there is nothing like driving a car with a V12.

________________________________________Mach430


I am not Santa, (wish I had the resources) but I like to dream. Occasionally, dreams turn into reality...and then more dreams...

Came close to a new CL500 a few months ago, but dealer kept adding useless xtras and deal fell through.

So, for the forseeable future, I am going to drive merrily my CLK55 and dream of all the wonderful MG cars which are on the drawing board in Stuttgart.

Thanks very much for all of YOUR enthusiastic responses; it shows the pulse and direction of this forum.

It brims with enthusiasm and excitement! Glad to be part of this family.

Happy Holidays &

may your wish(es) come true!

Karl K
