Exactly. Hot bumper indeed, but wrong model. It's a C55 wagon.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
The C55 is not available in the US. If you want to see what an E55T looks like see photo below.

Hell the C55 wagon isn't even available in Canada either. That one must have been imported specially.

Who cares about nose heavy.... late AMG models are already nose heavy and not that good (as compared to bimmers) in twisties anyway :p

So w/ C65, it may be able to put itself in supercar category but the problem is.... how much would it be? $140K? Who wants to buy a $140K C-class?

I think thats going to happen with the CLS 65... Im guessing it will be around 120-140K. They took the 65 away from the normal S CL and SL class
