I do like the gull wing, both new and original machines, but am not overly keen on em...

However I'd gladly give both my testicles away for a current SL65 AMG Black - in white of course or a special edition SLR also in white :D

Love the gullwing but god I shake my head everytime I see the '6.3' badge on the AMG's. I know, I know; it's about the heritage, but come on.

well I was actually joking right now but in 3 years time when the lease is up on the Passat and if I can afford it - would love to get into a C-class AMG estate...

if not, an Insignia will have to do *sigh*

thought you guys may find this interesting. They handed this out to all the staff. I like the SLK350.....224KW V6 verrrry nice ! bit of a sleeper and would be quite light.

Yeh the C-Class estate in red looks bloody nice, the Diesels are really punchy and pretty good value for money.

Have driven the current 224kw SLK 350 soon after they were released last year and thought it was great...the 7spd auto worked well too unlike the previous SLK 350's auto trans which wasn't very good at all (my cousins work partner has one and I 'borrowed' it for over a week once), power delivery is good and the V6's roar is awesome, cost of one is way over the top though, I got it priced with full options list and 'Designio package' included at 143k drive away :blush2: no thanks...

hell yes, no doubt you've seen the smart with the Hyabusa motor in it :p


OT: are the grilles and merc badge getting bigger and bigger with every new model?

probably, but everyone's doing it - look at the AH vs the TS Astra badging, look at Holden with the Commodore. The R36 has a MASSIVE VW badge on the front grill and rear tailgate....

Its called 'bling'

Or manufacturers are just really trying to stick it in consumers faces to make them fully aware of branding/marketing of their product :skep:

At least there are some brands which do offer you the choice of 'factory debadging' when buying your car :)

When we got the CR-V there was an option to bling it up with gold coloured badges. Was a few hundred dollars IIRC - since then have seen plenty of Honda's with the gold badges - could have used that money for something a lot more usefull....

That's probably something you shouldn't be admitting to LOL :p

We all know this kind of thing goes on though (but shouldn't)...worse at service centres if you leave your car there un-attended...

Yeh, have seen alot of Japanese brands with gold coloured logo emblems, IMO they look ok only on certain duco colours otherwise definitely too much bling :D

here are some pics of a C63 in the showroom.

I dont mind the car and its colour and even the interior trim untill you get to the Centre console part which looks disgusting but obviously easily customizable.
