I LOVE the Venetian! I'm taking my niece there in January for her 21st birthday for a few days of shopping.

 

I said not a penny more, so I guess I'll keep my 450 for a few of more years. Maybe MB will hear my prays and decide to make the GL63 in a couple of years. I'll make the first guess at $106,250.

Congrats Jen.

 

The new contest begins.

You up for Vegas dunderhi?

 

I've never been there, but I'm up for it!

 

Venetian rocks. Stayed there when I got married and the place was brand spanking new. One of the best hotels in Vegas, IMO, as soon as you get past the slots

 

Can we now, please, please, please, place bets on when MBUSA's BYO will list 550? Winner gets the satisfaction of knowing that their prescient skills are amazing

I guess by end of Sep '07.

 

Based on the things that come standard on the 550 vs. options on the 450, anybody work out what the actual premium is for the motor?

 

Playing around with the configurator, I come up with $5000 getting you not only the engine upgrade but also the body kit and 21" wheels. Amazing!

 

MY 2009...don't get me started on the MBUSA web site...:-)

 

How 'bout by the end of the week?

 

I won't be able to make it in the near term - burned most all of my vacation in Europe this year. I'll gladly plan on making the trip in the (may never come to be) GL63 - assuming it doesn't get impounded by the law along the way.
