SLS AMG Spotted near Montvale NJ Headquarters

I just saw the SLS AMG in silver this morning getting on to the on ramp this morning and it looked sick

I will try to go back to the head quarteres to get pics but i really liked the way it looked.

Anyone know when they are supposed to go on sale here in the US?

My understanding it is not there anymore, but I could be wrong. It is making it's tour around the US and then heading to Japan. My company is arranging all the transportation for it in the US... We are doing a good bit of airfrieght business with MBUSA these days... makes more fun for me at work at least...

I went back there Yesterday about 1 PM and there were three sitting there. One in Sliver, Ugly Bronze and i think red iirc.

I did not check today if they are still there. But i am assuming that they were waiting to be shipped out i guess.

I spotted the silver and Bronze on Chestnut Ridge Road in October, Silver Gullwing is currently in California for AMG Driving Academy / SLS Laguna Seca Raceway (CA) - November 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and is available to public if you register in this program for $ 2, 295/day

Not sure, who is sending them to Japan...lol

Has anyone reported this rash of spammer crap? The postings in the different forums that look like they are generic, passed through Google Translate, from new accounts/posters with only 1 post, and always with the 3 SPAM URLs in the .signature??? :
