AMG vehicles are even harder to come by than the regular models ... I remember when I got my first year E55 ... it was a major pain in the *** to get it. I know that some of the massive dealers in LA get higher allocations ... thats how I got my E55. But to see 3 available seems extremely high.

The E63 would be exclusive if it smoked the E60 M5 which it does not!

got it
Thanks Marcus,
I didn't know about the change in practices that Mercedes did in 03. I guess thats why it was so easy to get my SLK55 030.
Btw I agree that the E63 isn't that exclusive ... I think some are more than wary of a car with that much HP having the new 7 speed tranny. Other than that, I think Mercedes spoiled us with the supercharged 55 motors and we were hoping for something similar. It just reminds me of how pissed I was when the supercharged moter's came out!

It would be fun to see if the front loading of inventory is also to stop the practice of price fixing that was going on when the first units hit the dealer. Even the new S65 seemed to come in with high numbers. Should stop the brokers from buying with the intent to flip.

But MB it trying to get away from the superchargers & go to N/A engines. That is the main reason for the change to the 6.3L, not that they did not like the 55.

I think calling it ho-hum may be a little harsh. It has a lot of good stuff...lots of horsepower , better brakes etc. I don't think it's had a good showing yet. I don't think the people buying them are ignorant at all....in fact the smoother power delivery may be more appealing to many. They have to start somewhere if they are not going to use a kompressor anymore. Its a killer car that I would love to own...except I love being blown...
