bye bye 55 she's gone


the car just shuts down every once in awhile and the dealer cannot figure out why. tehy thought it was an ignition sensor but they replaced it and it did it again and again. I have to say adios to my AMG. I thought hard about getting a e63 wagon to stay in the AMG family but the 63 engine just does not do it for me right now and buying another E is a bit boring anyhow to me.
I have always gone fast car then SUV with my daily driver...
first
gmc typhoon
then 1995 m3
then gmc yukon denali
bmw m5
then MB g500
then e55
now....range rover S/C???
the CL600 is now at home in FL...and i canceled my 911 turbo as it was not a great choice as my 2nd baby is due next week...
i will still frequent this place though!

Sorry to hear the car is gone. Maybe it's for the better.

I personally love the new Range Rovers, especially the Sport S/C.

Good luck!

sorry to hear but good luck with your new choice. if you are looking at the s/c ranges, go with the sport. save yourself some cash and i personally think its a nicer choice

hey congrats on the new baby. FYI. My 06E55 had a similar issue and it turned out to be a loose wire to the fuel pump.

............Have driven or looked at the performance specs of the Range Rover s/c? 0-60 in 7secs and 1/4 mile 15.4secs. Slalom speed of 58mph which is 5mph slower than in the slalom than an X5.

............very nice lloking car. The looks however is very deceptive. This is NOT a performance SUV.
