Turn the heated seats up, its the only thing that will get close to making your pants burn. SL65 on the other hand, that would firestorm a small country while parked.

Mercedes A class doesn't do it for me.
especially as it is likely to fall over.
What's with all the young asian male nonesense?
And to think these people are called men of honour?men full of **** more like
I don't see your problem?
3 of my 'young asian male friends' own 2000 onwards merc convertibles. 2 others own audi convertibles (albeit diesels), they sink a hell of a lot of their cash into them as within their own cultural circles its a real status symbol.
Things have moved on quite a bit since the first batch came off the line on the mk1.
It's a folding hardtop
$89,888.00 (Buy It Now)
2005 model, 36k mileage.
I've seen them for so much more on the UK site.
Well thats a shock isn't it? Fancy a manufacturer having a family look with their models
Whatever next? All having a Mercedes badge?
The problem being that it was a rather sweeping generalisation. Just because some people you know use cars as status symbols it doesn't mean everyone else does... It's like saying all hair dressers drive mx5s etc
The man of honour comment wasn't just aimed at that post in particular, should have made myself a bit more clear i guess.
Back on topic though, that AMG above is the ****. Pretty sure I saw one very similar with the reg BOW1E going at considerable speed on the m25 a few months back.
I quite like the fact that to some people they look "boring" or "all the same", it'll make a nice suprise when you hear it flying past
Agreed, never been a fan of Mercs really.
I don't mind the sleek lightning fast looking ones, but I can't really get into them like I can other makes. I'm the same with BMW (although not as much). Perhaps it's something to do with the fact that they don't have names, just letters and numbers.
Again, missing the point, they dont claim to be ultimate drivers cars, and nor do they need to be. Take my S-class for example, as a drivers car its appauling, it rolls all over the place on small roads and the gearbox doesnt like this kind of driving either. For the type of driving i do however, which is thousands and thousands of motorway miles, combined with a little bit of mincing around town with friends, there is *nothing* better this side of a rolls royce or a bentley. This is where mercedes appeal, no-one else does a car as good for the money if you want a luxury cruiser. The big engines are needed due to the weight of the cars, and to produce a smooth ride, although i would agree that i cannot really see the point in any more power than my 4.3 V8 produces, the car doesnt need it nor does it suit having any more power than this really. I think around 4-5litres/300bhp nasp is the sweet spot for a car like these.
I'm surprised so many people think Mercedes are boring to look at.
I love the new CLS:

What's it's competitor? 6 series?
Not a fan of it in white, but I do think the SL55 is a great car. Looks good, has fantastic performance, and is becoming a bit of a bargain on the used market these days. I'd definitely have one myself.
The CLK DTM looks fantastic, though it ought to do given it's price tag! I do prefer the looks of the hard top though:
