CLS 63, Sl65, EVERY OTHER BENZ, with your wisdom, is the poor mans version of the SLR.

But the SLR looks like a clown shoe with Gonzo's nose on it.

Gotcha. Makes sense. You can get the 1.6 up to 210bhp very easily too with the Works package which makes it into a real fun little car.

They even releaed a factory 220bhp version in England, called the GP if i remember correctly.

Oh, if you get chance, test drive the new Cayenne. The optional active roll bars make it handle like a dream, even better than the M-tuned iS. 0-60 in 4.8secs has wifey smiling too.
