What's up with the Copperhead roadster? That concept has been around for literally over 10 years. I'm sure I have pictures of little 8 yr old me at the Seattle auto show with the Copperhead and the Ponitac Rageous

Carrera GT is an amazing car. Hoping to check out the show in Seattle. Anything on the new M3's by chance?

Benz has had the middle head rest for a while, at least my mom's old 98 C class did.

No M3 or M5... BOOO!!!

Im not sure if you guys are overlooking this, or maybe just not impressed. but there is something special about that C class... No one has seemed to pick up on it yet (I think).

Well, since Mercedes seems to compete with BMW (the M3) it would be nice to see a comparison. Also, does anyone else find it odd that the 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (im not sure if all others) has only a V-8 engine, which is smaller than some of the sedans/coupes they produce. I would expect greater things personally...??

I've been repping the C55 AMG for a couple of months now ... basically since Mercedes announced the C-class 2005 changes.
