Any ideas what AMG will bring?

Not sure, but I was invited to the AMG preview night before the show opens to the public so I will let you all know and post pics.

Maybe C63 AMG?

Some people have all the fun, Thanks

My bet is the CLK Black Series.

ooo very good idea, I completely forgot about the new series of AMG cars.

No E63...Chicago didn't have one...lot of focus on BlueTec

I can't wait. I received tickets as well to be guest of AMG for the preview night. Two new models will be released, I am guessing a C63 & a CLK

Looks like it could be the car under cover at AMG Private Lounge.

Could it be a CLK 63 AMG BLACK??? I see wheel opening bulges, carbon fiber valence with side louvers, Vents in the fender (mini SLR) bigger spoiler

Awesome, maybe we'll see each other at the event.

EDIT: You're thing says you live in CA, will you be in NYC for the show?

ShelleE55

Yes. Flying in on Wed...Hopefully BENZGal will be joining me

Well AMG had zippo new at the recent Geneva show ... did not even bother with pictures - most boring MB stand I have ever seen. They had the new C class launch there ... whoopeee....

Lexus was nice - the sports car concept was a real nice piece ... I'll post all my pics soon.

Was the new Toyota Landcruiser / Lexus LX570 there?

stevebez

Mmm I did not see it - but cannot say for sure it was not there ... it was a nightmare there - it was soooo crowded it was unbearable I left after 90 mins.

LS460 is nice ... nice rear end and exhaust work ... LS600 hybrid was there same deal really except the hybrid movie.

I could not get close to the Ferrari stand it was so crowded ... nuts But don't think they had anything major new out.

Porsche had the new Cayenne... nice lights but I did not pick up any other major changes...and believe it or not the 997 has already had a face lift!!!!

Aston only a few cars ... Bentley had the GTC - but thats out already anyway.

Brabus was there but did not bother - don't think they had anything new.

BMW had the MCoupe - nice car but unfortunately no M3 - which I was hoping to see.

Sat in M5 ... OK interior not really grownig on me though but very nice seats... so still not mad about the interior styling ... BMW lost me when they went from the E39 to the E60 styling interior and exterior.

New C-Class has rediculously large side mirrors ... looked wierd and front end is aka new CL ... looks a bit bulbous... but in the end its the same car with differently shaped metal - no massive changes ... got Idrive like controls - which I hate esp for RHD cars.

Sorry don't want to hijack...

You might know this already since you seem up all the car stuff, but the side mirrors and front end design of new German cars is not the manufactuers' fault. New EU guildelines for side mirror area and for pedestrian crash safety have dictated these ugly designs.

stevebez

Yeah heard about this ... did not know about the side mirrors though ... the drag on those must be massive...

Not sure what good these new rules are when you are doing 150mph on the motorway ... I think a better solution would be to keep people off the roads all together and design crossings that either go over or under roads...

At least you will be almost 100% sure not to hit anyone ...

I mean - come on - you are told not to play on train tracks ... why should roads be any different ? - which are to all intents and purposes more dangerous than train tracks......?

pmb600

Yeah that would be cool especially in NYC if they could have some kind of crosswalks that went over the streets. It would certainly make traffic a lot better.

Hi
Any chance of meeting any fellow forum members at the show. I arrive in NY on the 7th am.

V12Godspeed

BIG LUV

I wonder if those wheels would fit the E55,

jimand7

I bet the two cars are the CLK black AND the CL65. After the autoweekd cover I am sure they will put it on display.

DJE55

Looks like the CLK63 Black Series. I love this thing!!!

I heard CLK63 will be one of the cars AMG will unveil. I don't know what the other car will be perhaps a CL65. I will be there tomorrow night for the AMG event. I can't wait.
