chiphomme, Thanks for the Video link! Car looks really sharp in the Mars Red but I'm still glad I got one coming in White. The sound is great! Are you one of the potential customers? Magwheel

Yeah. I'm supposedly getting one, my dealer assured me. And I believe him because he'd lose a relatively good customer if he lied(i've purchased a Cayenne S, Q7, and a CLS55 in the last two years).

I have this "grass is always greener on the other side" problem.
I bought a 2006 CLS55, after selling my 2004 M3, but yearned for the sportiest of my BMW back. So I traded the CLS55 for an M6 but missed the torquey nature of the Mercedes. So now I'm hoping this will be the car that will stop my silly search for the perfect auto (very doubtful).
Note: the perfect automobile for me has to be a daily driver.
Out of the 3 nice cars I've had (CLS55, M3, and M6) the M3 has been closest to what I want. I just wish it had the power of the other two (Maybe next year).

Very impressive! I would like to know the BTG time on his lap. It looks like it was edited a bit, but from personal experience that was a very FAST lap.

AMG reported 7:52 as their official time. It has been reported Bernd Schneider did a 7:45.
