Before I got married. My wife said if she said yes, I promise not to look at anyone ( ladies of course ) or thing and think it's sexy so thank you and I'll just leave it at its a pretty AMG. Lol. Thanks again.

Thanks Hyperion. Before I got approval from my bosses ( wife and daughter ), I was force to promise:

1: No modification of any kind to the new car.
2: Leg room on the back seats ( AKA, My 8 year old ).

Therefore the AMG GTS is out of the question. My wife wanted to get the AMG S63 Sedan.

The only wheel modification was the optional AMG blackout wheels. BUT you never know, maybe 22" wheels can be negotiated with the wife. Lol.

Unfortunately, the real estate market is propped up only at certain parts of the country from the money coming in from overseas, ie China. The rest of the States is still in the hole and hasn't recovered since 2007-8.

So I guess your looking at guys is okay with her.

The GT definitely has a better transmission and performance. But the man just gotta have a V12, with big displacement to go along with it. And the whole Cali is heading back to become a desert like it has been for past thousands of years so the 4matic in S63 definitely wouldn't be needed.
It's always interesting to know the V8 via M156 has a larger displacement than MB's V12. Does anyone know why it's called a 65 when the displacement is 6.0?...Or is it all jacked up like the rest of the MB nomenclature?

Fortune for Cali. People of Asian decent, mostly from China that are more than well off tend to migrate to Cali therefore allowing the real estate market boom. That is good for the economy and great for the furniture industry. Where there is houses being built/sold, there is a market for furniture. I am enjoying the surge in real estate investment for Asia.

Also, an upstake in economy for Cali and elsewhere in the U.S., the travel industry also enjoys the wave therefore calling for more contract hotel furnitures being placed.

As for why I picked the S65, it was more of the amenities that came with a refine 2 door coupe with spacious seating arrangements than anything for my family.

I know when I'm ready to retire and my baby girl is off to college. The wife and I wouldn't mind getting something that is a 2 seater exotic, but until then. Speed and room is what fits our family.

And no, the only guys I look at are the ones I am racing. Lol.

Yes sir. You can put the Benz caps on any aftermarket wheel, but the question would be if that is something you want to do after you drop +$10,000 on wheels and make it look like a factory Mercedes wheels.

Yeah P01 and P04 are my favorite out of the HRE lineup. The P03 kind of look like my Vossen wheels I have on my E63.

I agree the P103 is a little generic looking however they are light and they allow the best view of my Brembo BBK 405mm brake kit. I was going for the Motorsport look.

For the S class I would definitely go for the P101 or 104.

Oh come on. You implying something Peter. I'm only 45 years old. I understand the S class is more cater to the older generation, but that is the 4 door sedan. I firmly believe that AMG came out with the AMG S coupe to cater to us younger generation. Lol.

Ok. My dad driver the Maybech 600 and yes, that fits my dad's age, but the S65 coupe is for the young or at least young at heart.

Test drive it. You'll know what I mean. Lol.

+1 the P30 are also easier to clean, but I stand firmly behind either P01 or P04s.

So took the new S65 out to dinner and causal stroll. Happy to report the transmission on it is smooth as silk. Wish they were in the E63.
