Anyone have an R550?

Just saw today that they actually made the R550, wondering if anyone has one?

Yes, they were a Canadian Market specific vehicle with very few options as they were loaded up already. The big draw was the engine as it was above the R500 and below the R63.
If you want one check autotrader.ca or kijiji.ca

Options were Limited to:
Distronic
Ventilated Seats
Keyless-Go
Navigation
Voice Recognition
Rear Console
Wood Dash
Wood Steering wheel
Backup Camera
Rear DVD

I'm just curious. I have a friend who has an ML550 and I was just curious to see if they had similar consumption. I know he complains a lot about poor gas mileage and the price of the super unleaded in Montreal.
