New E55 Amg !!!!!

i've jus gone out n bought the 'autocar' magazine and it has 2 pics of the E55 AMG !

I will try to get it scanned and then put it up A.S.A.P.
but someone else might just put them up B4 me but anyway,
here's what the small article said:
(parts of it from the article

1) "almost certain to top 200 mph in derestricted form"

2) "the E55 will not be seen on forecourts before its Paris Motor Show debut in four months"

3) "maximum power has been confirmed at 470 bhp"

4) "FOUR CHUNKY EXHAUST PIPES and a lowered ride height mark out the super saloon"

this is looking GR8. im working on the pics.
more soon

The Blok's are being robbed!

Great Britain's prices are higher than the U.S.? Mercedes Great Britain lists the W210 E55 for 55,140 GBP. That is equivalent to $81,177 USD. The base price of a US 2002 E55 is $71,350 USD. It looks like the Brits are paying higher prices. Interesting.

The W211 E55 is about 15% more expensive than W210 model. I was given Aust. pricing on the car this week.

What a bummer!

How unfortunate to have this terrible indentation along the entire side of this new car.

I wonder, which the airbags deployed in this horrible accident?

Car seems to be drivable, though.

looks hella better than the W209 CLK... was gonna get the W209, but it's too closely related to the c-class, and the rear is fugly... W209 looks much more beefy and has distinct headlights.

Well put.

I'm sure you meant to say: "W208 (the current CLK model) looks much more beefy and has distinct headlights."

haha... nice catch. i actually meant the W211 looks more beefy and has distinct headlights, but you are also right in that the W208 has those characteristics. W208 is one my all time favs... for sure.

Hey Look Fast Eddy's Back!

Fast Eddy - from my past experience they look like 44DD. Ex-Playboy Model - Anna Nicole Smith just got $88 million for her 44DDs. That was 1 million per inch per boob.

The European VAT (value added taxes) vary by country. Denmark is the highest, charging 25%!!

See the comlete list for European VAT professional taxes:
