Yes I remember the Saleen but no C43 and you just talked about it in the first post
As for the discussion about the C55, no problem, but well, I think the faster way is to go to your Merc dealership and ask for dates there

well you know how sales ppl are they want to sell whats on the lot currently and therefore they are absolutley no help... the think is the saleen isa great car but all in all you need something automatic in southern cali... i like the e class my parents have a 04 e500 which is great but im only 22 and it looks like a older person car... so again any other sporty sedans i should be looking at around that price

also i have been hearing wispers of a v8 m3 to be released within the next year??? heard anything about it can anyone confirm??

The new C does not look a whole lot different than the old one, the steering wheel is alot different so I assume that the interior is all new? Anyone know for sure.

I think enough is enough, and the 5.5 liter V-8 is too much for the C-Class.

well thats what we said when we got the c43 but its was a fun little car, i remember the second month we had the car i took it for a spin and all you could see at the gov limit it the freeway signs almost becoming one i mean its fing fast. but then agian it was when it had the micheline mx3 on it after those tires wore out and the production stopped the car was just never the same again

Exactly and with that sort of power it still doesn´t compare to the M3. I read in Evo that the M3 outsold the C32 AMG by 10 to 1 and bet this is not going to do much to change that.

exactly the M3 is common in terms of AMG rivals i think, ill see a couple M3's a day and maybe 1-2 AMG's a week....(and how can you have to much power? ), that much torque in the C would be brutle, i think it would be awsome
