2013 G 63 AMG
John, you should drop your order on the 2003 C32 and pick up a G55 AMG. Might be fun to compliment the S600 with a nice, large SUV. Having driven a 2001 G55 in Europe, I can tell you it's a lot of fun...and the sound that comes out of those quad exhaust pipes is truely evil! I drove a 2-door convertible, but I've also driven a 99 long wheel base and it was fun as well.

Why Hang in the G-Klasse Forum?
If you guys dislike them so much, why do you hang around here? Pen*s Envy? Or do you just like to troll?

All you hopeful G buyers...
Keep in mind that most G's are still new here. Some are old (like mine and other peoples), but we have struggled through many problems with G Wagens, to learn how to get them fixed. You can add to the fact that they are costly to maintain and the people servicing them don't know how to service them.
I hope the G55 is a more solid car and not a quick thrown together AMG. I have a feeling it will be solid, but its just a feeling. We shall see!

2013 G 63 AMG
Remember that though this is the first time an AMG modified G-class will be sold in the US, they have been on sale elsewhere for years. Before Mercedes started selling G500's (not counting the limited edition 500GE), the high end model was the G320 and the 300GE before it. AMG produced a G36 based on those models for several years as well.
I have no doubt that the 2003 G55 will be a solid, reliable vehicle built on the experience of many years of tuning the G-class at AMG.

G55 AMG will be $90k. No G55L in the US.
The G55 AMG (not G55L) is on sale now for $90k with no options. The G55L is not sold in the US and is only available by special order from AMG in Europe.

If anyone wants to bid on it and would like me to inspect it, I live about 20 minutes away from the dealer.
